In this activity, learners investigate the relative growth of lengths, areas, and volumes as cylinders are scaled up.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” when they land.

When you teeth clatter, they make quite the racket disproportionately to how much they actually sound to someone else.

In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.

Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!

In this activity, learners use an origami template to design eight amino acids. Learners configure the amino acids to form a protein. Use this activity to introduce proteins and amino acids.

In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.

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

In this engineering design activity, learners will design, test, and build a “haunting machine” to solve a Sherlockian mystery.

Learners observe a flask with a balloon attached over the mouth and inverted inside the flask.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

Does yeast breathe? Find out by watching how plastic bags filled with yeast, warm water and different amounts of sugar change over time.

In this activity, learners watch a figure "magically" float up through the air.

In this activity, learners simulate the energy transfer between the earth and space by using the light from a desk lamp desk lamp with an incandescent bulb and a stack of glass plates.

In this engineering/design/arts and crafts activity, learners design and build "platforms" or "bridges" that can hold weight, and test which glue makes the strongest structure.

In this activity, learners will observe and record living things with in outlined outside space.

In this activity on page 5 of the PDF (Plants—The Green Machines), learners use chromatography to separate and identify pigments within various leaves.

In this activity, learners use open inquiry to learn about the process of science as well as gain experience regarding the Law of Conservation of Mass, dissolution, and density.

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.
