In this activity (on pages 41-47 of PDF), learners explore tesselating geometric patterns (repeated shapes, similar to the art of M.C. Escher).

This activity (on page 2) explores how sensing is part of robotics. Learners try tying their shoes with different constraints.

In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

Align four color transparencies, each one a single color (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black), and see a beautiful full color image.

Learners cut and fold a paper helicopter from the template in this PDF. They practice twirling the helicopter and observe what happens as they modify their tries.

Oboes's unique sound originates from the two small reeds a musician blows into. Make your own double reed instrument out of straw!

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF), learners make their own totem poles out of recycled materials.

In this tabletop activity (on pages 32-40), learners make Möbius strips -- 3D surfaces with only one side.

In this simple exploratory activity (1st activity on the page), blindfolded learners try to identify mystery items by smell.

In this activity, learners will make seed orbs to grow new trees and plants. Learners will explore ecology and life cycles as well as stewardship through this activity.

Learners explore magnetism and motion as they build a simple marble run. Learners test different arrangements of plastic and cardboard tubes, bottles, and cups on a magnetic board.

This is written as a display, but can easily be adapted to a hands-on activity. Learners discover how all the parts of a diaper work together to keep babies dry and comfortable.

In this activity, learners build small animated toys that move.
