In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

In this activity, learners explore the invisible infrared radiation from an electric heater.

In this activity, learners build a paper stellated rhombic dodecahedron, a three-dimensional 12-pointed star.

In this chemistry activity, learners explore the amount of copper in a new penny. Learners use toilet bowl cleaner to hollow out the interior of a penny with zinc inside.

This series of chemistry stations is designed to accompany the PBS documentary about African-American chemist "Percy Julian: Forgotten Genius." Each of the six stations features either a chemical or p

In this activity, learners can create five-layer density columns by employing one of three (or all) methods.

In this activity, learners explore how to stay fit the fun way. Learners participate in three physical activities.

In this robotics activity, learners find ways to express emotions and feelings using only body movements, not facial expressions.

In this optics activity, learners explore color by examining color dots through colored water and the light of a flashlight.

In this activity, learners eat a snack and make a model of the plumbing system of a volcano.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

This activity allows learners to explore the scientific method in an open-ended fashion, using the 4-P Approach to Science Inquiry developed by the University of Wisconsin, Beloit.

In this optics activity, learners explore how light bends and affects what we see.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this activity, learners use their feet to estimate distances. Learners calculate the distance of one step in centimeters by measuring 10 steps at a time to reduce measurement error.

In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.

Make your own speaker with a magnet, wire, and paper cup! If you have a radio with a headphone plug and an old pair of headphones, this is a great tinkering activity.

In this group activity, learners use some common objects and work together to simulate the Coriolis effect. During the challenge, learners make predictions and test different scenarios.

In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners transform a strain of E. coli using green fluorescent protein from a bioluminescent jellies.

In this activity, learners explore the structure of plant leaves. Learners find out what happens when they coat either the top or bottom sides of leaves with petroleum jelly.
