Learners experiment to see which colors of light will cause a phosphorescent (glow-in-the-dark) material to glow.

In this engineering activity, young learners investigate multi-level buildings.

Learners observe projectile motion by launching wooden balls off of a table top. They set up a rubber-band launcher so that each ball experiences a consistent amount of force.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

In this activity, learners participate in a simulated dig to discover fossilized dinosaur bones. Learners take notes, make a map and propose theories about dinosaurs.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs" by Byron Barton to understand some background information about dinosaurs.

In this math activity, learners read "The Button Box" by Margarette S. Reid and then make their own button boxes filled with different buttons.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils by making an edible treat. First, learners read "Dinosaur Bones" by Aliki to examine how fossils are formed.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most to learn about the different sizes of dinosaurs.

In this activity, learners explore what makes a boat float and sink. They examine and test various objects to determine why objects float or sink.

Learners experiment with water gel crystals, or sodium polyacrylate crystals, which absorb hundreds of times their weight in water. When in pure water, the water gel crystals cannot be seen.

This activity attempts to clear up the common misconception that deserts are always hot, totally dry, and uninhabitable.

Learners shine the light of a laser pointer through sheets of fabric that all have a different number of threads per inch.

Learners drop a magnet through a coil of wire to create electric current in a circuit. LEDs in the circuit allow learners to detect the direction of current flow.

In this activity, learners listen to a story and tell a story of their own as they learn about the importance of elders in Native American cultures.

In this activity (page 7 of pdf), learners research tide pool ecosystems, and then create brochures that "advertise" these environments.

In this math-based activity, learners will experiment to find how height and angle affect spatter and then use this knowledge to solve a crime.

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 math lesson, learners are introduced to proportional reasoning through modeling, sharing, and questioning techniques.

In this activity, learners explore what is and is not active play and how it contributes to a healthy body and mind. Making active play a routine part of every day is a key concept of the experience.
