Learners examine collisions between two skateboards carrying different masses. They learn about conservation of momentum in collisions.

Learners develop awareness and understanding of the daily air quality using the Air Quality Index (AQI) listed in the newspaper or online.

Learners investigate how drag affects the falling rate of objects.

Learners test two jars containing hot water, one covered with plastic and one open, for changes in temperature.

Learners build at least two different spinners (tops) to investigate how mass distribution, size, and shape affect the length of time the spinner spins.

Learners conduct four simple experiments to demonstrate the effects of air pressure.

Learners tour their school or home looking for sources of indoor air pollutants (IAPs).

Working in groups, learners model the continuous destruction and creation of ozone (O3) molecules, which occur in the ozone layer.

Learners test two jars of ice water, one covered and one open, for changes in temperature. After placing the jars in the sun, learners discover that the covered jar cools down more slowly.

Learners create beautiful fluid motion. They explore fluid dynamics, surface tension, solubility, and buoyancy while mixing liquids together.

Learners build devices from rubber bands to test for invisible air pollutants.

In this engineering activity, learners investigate the differences between the strength of bridges made from flat and round building materials.

In this robotics activity, learners find ways to express emotions and feelings using only body movements, not facial expressions.

Learners create an electrical-circuit maze out of wire, then try to pass a paperclip through the maze without touching the wire.

In this activity, learners demonstrate and discuss simple circuits as well as the differences between parallel and serial circuit design and functions.

In this activity, learners examine baking powder, a combination of three powders: baking soda, cream of tartar, and cornstarch.

In this activity, learners explore an everyday situation, where either of two or more buttons can ring a buzzer.

Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

In this activity, learners explore electronic communication, the Morse Code system, and advances all the way through text messaging. Learners build a simple circuit, send messages to one another.

In this activity, learners explore the question "What is paper?" Learners discover the processes and materials required to make paper while experimenting with different recycled fibers and tools.
