In this hands-on engineering project, kids use two simple machines, levers and inclined planes, to construct their own pinball machines.

In this up-cycling activity, learners recycle plastic bags and repurpose them into useful wallets.

In this engineering design challenge, learners animate a facial expression and make a machine (zoetrope) that plays the animation back.

In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

Make a rattle-like musical instrument! Shake it, hit it, spin it any way you want to!

This resource contains ideas and brief instructions on how to build animals out of construction paper and other simple materials.

In this activity, learners will become an engineer by designing and engineering a miniature parachute.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.

In this math lesson, learners use the setting of a flower-making fundraiser to explore a variety of patterns. Learners examine the patterns in a flower design made of triangles surrounding a square.

In this great hands-on activity, learners use patterns to make a teepee from newspaper that they sit inside.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

In this activity, "write" a secret message in genetic code as beads on a string.

In this activity, caregivers and young learners work together to craft and talk about shapes and relative positions of such shapes by creating a mobile.

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

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

In this activity, learners will discover what colors are in different markers, and may be surprised at the results.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this activity, learners will construct a device to blow bubbles. By adding corn syrup to the bubble solution, we can increase the surface tension of the bubbles--and their size.

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

In this activity, learners will experience the different states of matter using crayons as the medium. Explore matter changing between phases while recycling old crayons.
