In this design challenge, learners will engineer a structure and see if it can survive an earthquake they create.

In this activity, learners will make their own slushies and learn some of the science behind how the process works.

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

In this laboratory experiment, learners explore how effectively different sunscreens protect yeast cells from damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

In this activity, learners use ABS pipe and an air leaf blower to make a strong shooting machine.

In this activity, learners make scale models of the Sun and Earth out of paper mache.

Use geometry, a ruler, and a steady hand to create these amazing unfurling paper folds!

This is an activity to do when there is a solar eclipse!

In this two-part outdoor activity, learners conduct a population census of squirting clams on a beach or mudflat, and investigate the clams' natural history.

In this activity, learners construct a model of DNA to better understand the structure of DNA and protein synthesis.

In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of valve operation and how engineers have adapted valves for use in mechanical heart valve design.

In this activity (Page 22 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by washing different types of dough with water and comparing the results.

In this activity (Page 25 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by creating dough from different flours, observing the samples of dough as they rise, and then baking the dough.

In this activity, learners explore electronics and motion by making a Scribbling Machine, a motorized contraption that moves in unusual ways and leaves a mark to trace its path.

In this fun and, at times, hilarious force and motion activity, learners will use household objects to build a crazy contraption and see how far they can get a tennis ball to move.

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

This fun, nighttime hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore how long it takes for light from different objects in the universe to reach Earth.

In this experiment related to plant biotechnology, learners discover how to prepare and load an electrophoresis gel.

In this activity, learners create and experiment with wind tubes. These tubes are a playful and inventive way to explore the effect that moving air has on objects.
