This is written as a static display, but can easily be adapted to a hands-on experiment for learners to conduct.

In this activity, learners of all ages can enjoy experimenting with ice. Try this experiment at the kitchen table or in the great outdoors to encourage budding scientists to experiment with ice.

This activity lets you program your 'robot' (a willing friend) to pick up and dispose of some 'toxic waste' using as few commands as possible.

In this activity, learners examine how brine shrimp populations can survive in some of the harshest environments.

In this biology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will determine whether they are "tasters" or "non-tasters", test selected individuals from their families and peer group for the trait, and chart

This design challenge is an open-ended exploration of linkages, a group of parts connected by hinges, and the types of motion they can create.

This activity demonstrates the specificity of viral vectors for target cells in gene therapy delivery methods using two approaches: 1) STYROFOAM® models demonstrate viral ligand binding to receptor pr

Learners construct an electricity-generating wind turbine out of a plastic bottle.

Plants need nutrients to grow. This is why we apply fertilizers to grass and food crops. In this activity, learners will explore how fertilizers can affect lakes and other bodies of water.

In this activity, learners smell bottles containing bee pheromone molecules (or herb/spice extracts as a substitute). Bees release these molecules to send messages to each other.

In this engineering challenge, learners design and build a crane out of cardboard to see how heavy a load it can lift.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.

In this activity, learners design a flag for a chosen or assigned planet. The instructions include information about flags on Earth, and a list of flag references.

In this collection of demonstrations, learners explore Newton's Laws of Motion.

In this activity, learners collect, analyze, and interpret information about objects in order to classify them into a cladogram. Use this activity to talk about how scientists classify things.

In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT) is a cloning method that involves transferring a nucleus from a somatic cell of the individual to be cloned to an enucleated egg.

In this activity, learners explore what happens when polarized white light passes through a sugar solution.

If a sailboat is stranded because there is no wind, is it possible to set up a fan on deck and blow wind into the sail to make the boat move?

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to build and examine a basic electrical circuit.
