In this activity, learners use a flexible magnet as a model for a scanning probe microscope (SPM). They learn that SPMs are an example of a special tool that scientists use to work on the nanoscale.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a machine out of cardboard that runs smoothly and dependably. Learners must be precise to make sure their component works properly.

This event guide features three related explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: how you design and build a structure helps determine how strong it will be; different

In this activity, learners use tinfoil to build and test their own boats - which designs will float, and which will sink?

In this online activity, learners build their own system of heavenly bodies and watch the gravitational ballet.

This activity (on pages 24-29) combines science and art to introduce learners to how different animal pollinators spread pollen from one plant to another, and how certain shapes, colors, and smells of

In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.

In this activity, participants will learn how stars form from the dust and gas that exists in space clumping together.
