This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

This activity/demo introduces learners to aerogel, a glass nanofoam. Learners discover how aerogel is made and how well it insulates as well as learn about aerogel's other unique properties.

Learners construct and launch paper helicopters.

In this activity, learners sample a star field to estimate the number of stars in the universe.

In this math game (Page 15 of the Dining Out! PDF), learners figure discounts and/or profit increases for various food totals. Learners add decimals to $100.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.

In this activity, learners explore probability with dice.

In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.

Computers are often used to put lists into some sort of order—for example, names into alphabetical order, appointments or e-mail by date, or items in numerical order.

In this experiment, learners examine how pressure affects water flow. In small groups, learners work with water and a soda bottle, and then relate their findings to pressure in the deep ocean.

Learners work in pairs to create three simple types of bridges, a beam bridge, an arch bridge, and a suspension bridge.

In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.

In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.

In this optics/mathematics activity, learners use two hinged mirrors to create a kaleidoscope that shows multiple images of an object.

In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

In this activity, learners work in teams to build and test paper airplanes. Learners try to fly their airplanes directly on the runway and earn points for accuracy.

In this nutrition activity (page 16 of PDF), learners document their individual eating habits and learn whether their eating patterns meet their needs.
