In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.

A design challenge that takes paper airplanes into an entirely different direction: a magnus glider uses cups and and rubber bands to create a glider that uses the same forces that a curveball (from b

In this sunny day activity, learners compare how a cup of water and a cup of tonic water reflect or refract light in the sun.

In this activity, learners explore why they can see colors in bubbles and why they change.

Everybody loves bubbles, and this is the best bubble recipe ever!

In this activity, learners will trick out their bike with crafts and flair. Learners will explore symmetry, cause and effect and design through this activity.

Learners trace, cut out and fly a boomerang, outdoors or in a large indoor space.

You may have tried to throw a curveball or a slider, or even a screwball, with an ordinary baseball and found it difficult to do.

An ordinary camera has a lens that makes an image on film. In a pinhole camera, a small hole replaces the lens.

Use this Moon Map Guide to help learners identify features on the Moon, while looking through a telescope.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

In this activity, learners investigate wind by comparing the force of wind in different locations. Learners build wind-o-meters out of wooden sticks and strips of paper.

This activity (9th activity on the page) about hearing demonstrates to learners the importance of having two ears.

This activity shows you how to make amazing crystal spikes using Epsom salt and the sun.

In this optics activity, learners use a shoebox, colored cellophane and sunlight to "change" the colors of gumballs. Learners will be surprised when the green and blue gumballs appear black!

Explore the effects of gravity on a slowly falling object: a parachute you make out of plastic bags, string and stones.

In this activity, learners use cheap, thin plastic garbage bags to quickly build a solar hot air balloon. In doing so, learners will explore why hot air rises.

This hands-on activity lets participant explore chemical reactions as they create a soda explosion with lots of bubbles. The bubbles in soda are made of carbon dioxide gas.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners use common materials to construct a rain gauge and measure daily, monthly, and yearly rainfall.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.
