This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.

Using recycled materials, learners will design a transportation vehicle to carry an egg in an egg toss (a rudimentary model of a shock absorbent transport vessel).

In this activity, learners use design thinking to design and build their own bridge out of household materials including adhesives and/or connectors.

In this activity, learners string a line across the room and build cable cars that can move from on end to the other.

In this activity, learners use pegboard and straws to build a three-dimensional model of the periodic table.

In this activity, learners take on the role of various parts of the cell in order to model the process of protein synthesis.

In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.

In this activity, learners cut, fold, and paste paper representing biomolecules to create a three-dimensional cell membrane with embedded proteins.

In this activity, learners will build a stomp-powered launcher to blast off paper rockets they design. Materials can be found at a local hardware store or you may already have them at home.

In this activity, learners will discover how fossils are dug out of the earth by carefully exposing treasures hidden in an artificial rock that is easily made at home.

Learners follow directions to construct a water-powered electrical generator using a turbine made from plastic spoons.

In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.

In this activity, learners build styrofoam boats powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this activity, learners create a working model of a nail clipper. This activity helps learners learn the basic principles of simple machines, engineering design and model building.

Build your own Mini Mini Golf Course and learn about hands-on building and design, basic circuitry, motion modules and more!

In this activity, learners work in groups to match craft sticks that represent chromosomes. Learners must define critical attributes of their chromosomes as they look for matching chromosomes.

In this activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.

In this activity, learners make balloon models of disease-causing bacteria.

In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.
