In this geology activity, learners create a model using a mixture of salt and sand inside a CD case. When the case is tilted or inverted, the mixture dramatically sorts into a layered pattern.

Build a catapult that transforms the potential energy of a twisted rubber band into kinetic energy. Experiment with design variations so that you can hit a target with a projectile.

In this online activity, learners build their own system of heavenly bodies and watch the gravitational ballet.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with marbles and weights to discover some basics about gravity and black holes.

In this activity (page 87 of the PDF), learners move their bodies to better understand the three axes of rotation: pitch, roll and yaw.

In this activity (page 89 of the PDF), learners compare and contrast pitch and roll motions by using a Magic Carpet maze similar to one that was used for Neurolab investigations about microgravity.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with a bucket, stretchy fabric, marbles, and weights to discover some basics about gravity.

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

In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.

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

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners imagine what would happen if our Sun were replaced with a black hole.
