In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore insulation. Leaners investigate how insulation can be used to slow down the conduction of heat from one side of a wall to the other.

The "Rocket Reactions" activity is an exciting way to learn about how materials interact, behave, and change.

In this playful, goopy activity, learners mix two liquids to create a solid (that sometimes acts like a liquid ), using basic household materials such as borax and glue.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent a device that will make their friends and family ask, "What's buzzing?" Learners design an alarm with an on/off switch that is small enough to hide.

In this simple activity, learners discover how a mere piece of paper can be used to hold up the weight of a heavy book.

Have you noticed the plastic rings that are used to hold six-packs of soda? Those rings are great for carrying cans, but they're real trouble when they become trash that animals can get tangled in.

In this hands-on activity, learners determine the types of chemical reactions achieved when combining different household products.

In this activity, learners repeat patterns in two and three dimensions to create tessellations.

In this activity, learners conduct scientific research on multitasking. Learners determine if multitasking with media while doing homework affects their ability to successfully complete the homework.

In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

In this hands-on activity, learners build their own kaleidoscopes and explore how light can reflect of off surfaces such as mirrors, to produce beautiful patterns.

In this hands-on science experiment, students combine their understanding of the different states of matter and the characteristics of various chemical reactions.

In this experiment, learners try different liquids to see which ones clean pennies best. Liquids to try include water, lemon juice, cola, vinegar, and dishwashing detergent.

In this activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.

In this activity, learners construct possible food webs for six different ecosystems as they learn about the roles of different kinds of living organisms.

In this activity, learners write invisible messages on goldenrod paper, and make the message appear and disappear using acids and bases.

In this hands-on experiment, kids use chemistry to explore whether acids or bases are better at restoring a penny’s shine.
