Create 3D glasses and use them to explore color, light and optics. Fool your brain into 'seeing' three dimensions on a flat surface!

Learners add drops of four liquids (water, alcohol, salt water, and detergent solution) to different surfaces and observe the liquids' behavior.

Learners see that a carrot slice sinks in fresh water and floats in saltwater.

This is an activity about our sense of smell and how it compares to sharks' super noses. Learners will create varying solutions of water and perfume.

In this activity, learners use squares to figure out how many border tiles are needed to enclose different areas.

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

This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.

Space telescopes can offer us better, clearer views of the universe (and of our own planet) than Earth-based telescopes can, but getting these large, delicate pieces of equipment into orbit is tricky.

This is an activity in which learners create magic wands from a variety of materials making their choices by considering what kind of magic they want to make.

In this activity, learners mix white craft glue and borax solution together to produce a surprising new material: GOOP!

In this physics activity, learners explore how sound is created by vibrations.

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.

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

In this activity (on pages 4-5), learners make fake snow by adding water to the super-absorbant chemical from diapers, sodium polyacrylate.

In this activity, caregivers and young learners work together to make a scale from household materials to compare different weights--an essential principle in early math.

This activity is about collecting and analyzing DNA as part of a criminal investigation.

In this activity, learners build a simple tabletop seesaw to test how different variables (the position of the fulcrum, distance, weight) affect its balance under increasing weight loads.

In this activity, learners develop their understanding of combinations as they create as many different kinds of tostadas as possible.

In this math activity, learners play a probability game and try to be the first to get to the end of the game board path .This activity guide contains a material list, black line masters for the game

In this indoor and/or outdoor activity, learners make an anemometer (an instrument to measure wind speed) out of a protractor, a ping pong ball and a length of thread or fishing line.
