In this kinesthetic activity, learners move pom-pom "ions" across a membrane to simulate how an action potential is propagated along an axon.

In this activity, learners create a soil and water model of a single-cell life environment and study living microorganisms.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore what happens when a star explodes.

In this activity, which requires adult supervision, learners get to explore the awesome power of chemistry.

In this activity, learners are introduced to robotic submarines called gliders. Learners make “gliders” from plastic syringes and compare these to Cartesian bottles and plastic bubbles.

In this activity, learners create their own obstacle course based on Bernoulli's Principle and try to get a floating ball from the start of their course to the finish line.

Many germs spread by our hands, and often times, people don't wash their hands well enough to get rid of germs.

In this activity, learners will imagine the challenges and opportunities of asteroid mining.

In this activity, learners explore nonrenewable resources and learn why these resources are finite.

In this activity, learners discover that a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

Challenge popular misconceptions, learners explore how a mirror actually reflects an image in this activity.

In this Engineering Design Challenge activity, learners will use balloons to investigate how a multi-stage rocket, like that used in the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, can propel a sat

In this activity, learners explore motion and airflow by setting two aluminum cans on their side and blowing air in-between them.

In this activity, learners will discover why there are holes in bread.

In this fun and in depth hands-on experiment, learners test various liquid samples (distilled water, lemon juice, vinegar, and baking soda mixed with water) to determine their pH levels and identify e

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

Learners combine different plant solutions -- made from fruits, vegetables, and flowers -- with equal amounts of vinegar (acid), water (neutral), and ammonia (base).

In this science/art activity, learners create an insignia or emblem for a planet exploration mission.

Learners match puzzle pieces to outlines of a DNA strand. The puzzle pieces represent the four chemicals making up DNA base pairs: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.

This activity introduces the idea of "divide and conquer" using a fictitious but serious problem--a pair of dirty socks has accidentally been wrapped in one of the presents that Santa is about to deli
