This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to construct a paper bridge that can support 100 pennies.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent a pinball-like game where a kick stick hits a ping pong ball into a target that buzzes.

In this engineering activity, learners design their own board games.

In "Chemistry is Colorful" learners explore different materials through paper chromatography.

This activity models some of the ways natural processes, such as erosion and sediment pollution, affect Earth’s landscape.

Learners use Duplo bricks to build antibodies with shapes that match model viruses.

In this hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.

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

In this activity, learners use mirrors to write secret messages to a friend. Use this activity to explore letters, optics, and/or symmetry.

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 physical sciences activity, learners use science to solve a "crime." Learners collect trace evidence (glitter) and explore its characteristics, such as color, size, shape, and light reflection

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

In this activity, learners build a simple solar oven out of household materials to melt chocolate and marshmallow between graham crackers--known as s'mores.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that’s at least 12 inches high with two or more parts that move (spin, sway, or flap) in the wind.

Make your own "Dance Dance Revolution" dance pad! In this design challenge activity, learners work in teams to build a dance pad that lets you use your feet to sound a buzzer or flash a light.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a device to carry a Ping-Pong ball from the top of a zip line to the bottom in four seconds (or less!).

In this activity, challenge learners to design a roller coaster ride for a marble using cardboard and other simple materials.

Learners design their own experiment to investigate how pollution diffuses through ground material.
