In this optics activity, learners examine how a transparent material such as glass or water can actually reflect light better than any mirror.

In this activity, learners investigate how inkjet printers produce tiny, precise drops of ink.

This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

In this playful activity, learners explore the structure of the cell—the basic unit of every living organism—by creating a model of cell structures using soap bubbles, and by examining a slice of onio

This activity gets learners looking at 6-sided shapes in nature, including the cells of a beehive, as well as other shapes.

Learners observe two joined glass tubes containing a conductive salt solution. Electrodes are passing an electric current through the water.

In this activity, learners discover that the way a material behaves on the macroscale is affected by its structure on the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering has made possible the development of--and ongoing improvements to--adaptive devices that serve to help individuals with a wide range o

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

This activity teaches combustion as the interaction of a fuel source and oxygen.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this on site "field trip" activity (located on pages 6-9 of PDF), learners get hands-on experience identifying building materials by playing "Building Bingo".

Learners explore water adhesion and learn about why water molecules are more strongly attracted to some substances than others.

In this math activity, learners use a variety of sensory modalities to gain experiences with identifying, describing and creating repeating patterns.

In this four-part activity, learners explore light and sound through a variety of hands-on investigations.
