Learners build a solar oven from a cardboard pizza box, aluminum foil and plastic. Learners can use their oven to cook S'mores or other food in the sun.

This is an activity about robotics programming. Learners will discover how precise programmers have to be as they instruct a friend to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

In this activity about olfaction (7th activity on the page), learners use natural ingredients to concoct their own perfume.

Learners build structures from spaghetti and marshmallows to determine which structures are able to handle the greatest load.

In this (edible) activity, learners balance chemical equations using different kinds and colors of candy that represent different atoms. Learners will work in pairs and explore conservation of atoms.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed big wheels or Ferris wheels.

In this activity, learners explore engineering package designs that meet the needs of safely shipping a product.

In this math lesson, learners explore the relationship between the thickness of a spaghetti bridge, the length of the bridge, and the amount of weight that can be supported by the bridge.

In this math lesson, learners model exponential decay and exponential growth using M&M's, paper folding, and African rhino population data.

In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

In this activity, learners explore trebuchet design. Teams of learners construct trebuchets from everyday materials.

In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

In this data analysis activity, learners quantify the abundance and distribution of sea scallops in and adjacent to the Mid-Atlantic closed areas.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have met the challenge of keeping foods, liquids, and other items cool.

In this data analysis activity, learners use data collected by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to study Chilean sea bass populations.
