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

In this activity, learners create three-dimensional shapes by making some origami models of simple boxes and containers.

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).

In this activity, learners make a paper model of a polymer, then make Silly Putty, an actual polymer.

In this activity (located on page 6 of the PDF), learners explore the ways people access water in their homes.

In this activity, learners explore different types of fossils by making their out of dough and objects from around the house.

This fun activity uses simple materials such as milk cartons and mirrors to introduce the ideas of optics and visual perception.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners use art supplies to build models of insects, both real or imagined.

In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

In this activity (on the left side of page 5, continued on the right side of page 4 of the PDF), learners make models of colorful butterflies.

In this activity, learners create a model of a neuron by using colored clay or play dough. Learners use diagrams to build the model and then label the parts on a piece of paper.

In this activity, learners thread gumdrops together to make a model of a polymer.

Learners build 3D representations of constellations, which show not just the position of the stars as seen from Earth but also their relative distance from Earth.

In this activity, learners construct a playable kazoo from inexpensive materials. They will experience how vibration creates sound waves and music.

In this activity, young learners explore the basic shapes of constellations by making their own scope out of a cardboard tube and paper with pinpricks.

In this activity, learners create an origami model of DNA, demonstrating its double helix structure.

In this activity, learners get hands-on with geometry by making a polyhedron kitty sculpture.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners make balloon models of disease-causing bacteria.
