Use this model to demonstrate the goal of NASA's Kepler Mission: to find extrasolar planets through the transit method.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

In this activity, learners will pretend to be archaeologist using this chilling experience.

In this activity, learners test how cornstarch and glitter in water move when disturbed. Learners compare their observations with videos of Jupiter's and Earth's storm movements.

In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

In this activity, learners will investigate how craters are made and the different factors that contribute to size left from the impact.

In this activity, learners imitate the way vocal cords work by building a model from a plastic cup, rubber band, and a straw.

In this activity, learners model ancient lunar impacts using water balloons.

What's a Pickle-Oh? Two pieces of pickle on a stick are connected to a Pico Cricket (micro controller). When you slide the pickles apart the note changes.

In this activity learners compare the bounciness of warm and cold racquetballs to see if temperature makes a difference in how well they bounce.

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

In this activity, high voltage is applied across a pickle to emit a yellow glow. This activity should only be conducted by skilled adults and is best suited as a demonstration.

In this activity about electricity, learners explore what happens when you blow a fuse.

Learners investigate signs of a chemical reaction when they mix vinegar and baking soda. In addition to a gas being produced, learners also notice the temperature decreases.

In this activity, learners heat and cool carbonated water to find out whether temperature has an effect on how fast the dissolved gas leaves carbonated water.

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 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 investigate sound and vibration by making a "bee hummer"--a toy that sounds like a swarm of buzzing bees when you spin it around.

Los jugadores toman turnos para añadir figuras de tres cuadrados a la cuadrícula. Intenten encajar sus figuras en la cuadrícula de modo que bloquee al otro jugador.
