In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

In this activity, learners examine the properties of different seaweeds, investigate what happens when powdered seaweed (alginate) is added to water, and learn about food products made with seaweed.

Plants need nutrients to grow. This is why we apply fertilizers to grass and food crops. In this activity, learners will explore how fertilizers can affect lakes and other bodies of water.

This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

This is an activity that demonstrates how batteries work using simple household materials. Learners use a pickle, aluminum foil and a pencil to create an electrical circuit that powers a buzzer.

This display shows the dangers of acid rain on buildings and other structures as two concrete bunny rabbits are disintegrated by sulfuric acid. Learners scrape chalk onto the concrete bunnies.

Learners experiment with a commercial photo-sensitive paper (Sunprint® or NaturePrint® paper). They place opaque and clear objects on the paper and expose it to bright light, observing the results.

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

In this laboratory activity, learners design an experiment to evaluate how environmental factors influence the growth of molds.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

This activity provides an opportunity for learners to observe and examine how carbon dioxide, water, and light produce glucose/starch through a process called photosynthesis.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.
