In this activity, learners explore the structural strength of triangles by creating their own free-standing geodesic dome out of plastic straws.

In this activity about vision and optical illusions, learners conduct a simple test to demonstrate how our eyes create "afterimages." Learners stare at a black cardboard bat for at least 30 seconds an

This activity (on pages 21-32 of PDF) has learners act out several classic brain teasers.

In this activity, learners try to figure out who has their matching rock type by reading a description of their rock (no talking!).

Listen to the beat of gravity. By taking two strings with weights tied to them at different, yet uniform intervals, you can hear the uniformity (and rhythm) of gravity's accelerating pull.

In this activity, learners use a compass, powerful magnet, and copper magnet wire to build a special generator known as a dynamo.
