On the first night, I saw 5 stars in the desert. On the second night, I saw 10… What do you think I saw on the third night? Combine arts and crafts, literacy, and math by making a counting book.

In this optics activity, learners create flip books by drawing an image like an eye opening and closing on 24 small pages of paper.

In this activity, learners observe the moon each night for a month and draw their observations in a Moon Watch Log.

In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

Learners complete a series of hands-on and investigative activities to explore cumulus clouds.

In this optics activity, learners explore how many objects they can see in a set of mirrors (hinged like a book) at various angles.

In this physics activity, challenge learners to lift a book with just air using a plastic bag and a straw. This activity demonstrates compressed air and forces.

This is a quick and simple demonstration about reflexes (second activity on the page).

In this activity, learners explore the strength of different shapes. Fold paper into triangles, squares, and other shapes, then experiment with how much weight they can hold.

In this simple activity, learners discover how a mere piece of paper can be used to hold up the weight of a heavy book.

In this activity, learners observe and describe the physical and behavioral characteristics of insects, including crickets.

Learners follow a three-step process to start their own rock collection.

In this activity, learners build bridges out of newspaper and tape to explore how structures are designed to bear loads.

In this engineering activity, learners construct sturdy geodesic structures out of gumdrops and toothpicks. Use this activity to explore engineering principles as well as sturdy shapes and triangles.

In this activity, learners create their own obstacle course based on Bernoulli's Principle and try to get a floating ball from the start of their course to the finish line.

In this design challenge activity, learners use tubes of newspaper to make a table that’s at least eight inches tall and strong enough to hold a heavy book!

In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.

These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How many colors can you name in a minute? or How many seconds can you balance on one foot?

This activity (on pages 13-18) has learners build a model tree and then figure out how to make their tree stand up by itself.

These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How fast can a cheetah run? or How long can a giant tortoise live? Post these around the room or leave them out for children to explore.
