This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.

In this card-based personal choice activity, learners review and sort COVID-19 and vaccine science information.

In "Chemistry Makes Scents," participants use their noses to distinguish between chemicals with very similar structures.

In this activity, learners will create a model rocket out of an inflated balloon attached to a straw on a taught string.

This guide features three related ramp explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: when placed on a ramp, some objects roll, others slide, and others stay put; the shape

In this design challenge activity, learners use tubes of newspaper to make a table that’s at least eight inches tall and strong enough to hold a heavy book!

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

Students design and build their own parachutes in this hands-on engineering project.

In this activity, learners play a trick on their own brain to see if the brain can learn to ignore distracting input. Colors and words are used to play the visual trick, known as a Stroop Test.

In this activity, learners make a helium balloon "flink"--neither float away nor sink to the ground. Use this activity to introduce physics concepts related to gravity, density, and weight.

In this activity, learners construct a playable kazoo from inexpensive materials. They will experience how vibration creates sound waves and music.

In this activity, learners mix up a bubbly brew and examine density. Learners explore how they can make different materials fall and rise in water using oil, water, and salt.

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.
