In this activity, learners build an electric two-paddle boat using paint paddles, plastic knives, and empty water bottles.

In this activity, dry ice and other items are used to construct a demonstration model of a comet that illustrates the comet nucleus, coma, and tails.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this genetics activity, learners extract DNA from an onion, using detergent solution, a food processor, and rubbing alcohol. They will also discuss genetic engineering of plants.

In this activity, learners build edible models of Jupiter and Earth to compare their sizes and illustrate the planets' internal layers.

In this activity, learners create a gelatinous slime using guar gum powder and borax. Educators can use this simple activity to introduce learners to colloids.

This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.

In this challenge, learners figure out how to make a juice stain disappear.

In this activity, learners explore how pneumatics and hydraulics could be used to produce movement in a robotic arm.

Bones are stiff, which helps us lift heavy things and walk around, but they are also somewhat flexible, which lets them bend slightly.

In this physics activity, learners will gain a better understanding of how friction, inertia, and mass affect objects.

In this activity, learners build and test a compass. Learners work in pairs and pretend they are stuck in the wilderness at night.

Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast different forms of luminescence by observing how chemiluminescence, phosphorescence, and fluorescence produce or emit light.

In this demonstration, cook a cake using the heat produced when the cake batter conducts an electric current.

In this health activity (on page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about the body‘s defenses against invasion from tiny particles.

This is a hands-on activity about the physics of tennis. Learners will discover that physics plays a big part in tennis, no matter what their skill level might be.

In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.

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

In this outdoor activity that can be combined with a hike, learners try to match a "mystery community" by shaking animals out of different trees and shrubs.
