In this engineering/design/arts and crafts activity, learners design and build "platforms" or "bridges" that can hold weight, and test which glue makes the strongest structure.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners explore the concept of population density.

Learners discover that soap can be used to power a boat. Learners make a simple, flat boat model, put it in water, and then add a drop of detergent at the back of the boat.

Using a milk-based recipe, learners create "moo glue" which is basically white school-type glue. The "secret ingredient" in milk that helps make glue is a chemical called casein.

In this outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.

In this activity, learners search for various kinds of items made from minerals around their home or school, including toothpaste, wall paint, kitty litter, and bricks.

Most people break at least two bones in their lifetime. In this activity, learners will use celery stalks to model the many ways that bones can fracture.

Although we may not admit it, all humans fart or pass some gas. In this activity, learners make their own model to mimic food passing through intestines and discover what releases gas.

In some parts of the world, lakes freeze during winter. In this activity learners will explore water’s unique properties of freezing and melting, and how these relate to density and temperature.

In this activity, learners build their own magnetometer using an empty soda bottle, magnets, laser pointer, and household objects.

En esta actividad la tira cómica muestra a los participantes como pueden hacer un experimento simple para ver cuales líquidos son ácidos.

In this group or individual activity, learners are encouraged to watch birds near home or school—possibly where birds are nesting in a tree, pecking in a park, feeding from a feeder, or flying through

In this outdoor game, learners role play populations linked in a food chain.

In this outdoor activity, learners find out the color of food that jays prefer and then try to change the birds' preference by altering the taste of the food with salt.

In this outdoor activity, learners use a mapping technique to become oriented to the major features of an outdoor site.

Most of the time, we don't have to think about breathing. In fact, you're probably breathing right now without thinking about it!

Our bodies produce snot, or mucus, that we blow from our noses. In this activity, learners will create a model of how snot works and will explore how it keeps our bodies healthy.

In this activity, learners build a bird feeder or feeders to attract birds for observation.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this simulation activity, learners observe what can happen when ocean waves churn up water and oil from an oil spill.
