This activity explores the main algorithms that are used as the basis for searching on computers, using different variations on the game of battleships.

In this game, learners experience how computers divide a big problem into many smaller ones and how they use binary "yes"/"no" questions.

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

In this activity, you take regular dominoes, and turn them into conductive switches that can turn on a LEGO RCX block or Pico Cricket (micro controller). LEGO RCX block or Pico Cricket is required.

In this online activity, learners find out whether they are smart enough to survive as a plant.

Space Guess Quest is a fun game that encourages participants to identify the many types of objects in space, from human-made spacecraft to nebulas, galaxies, stars, and worlds.

In this activity, learners will code an algorithm to make it through a maze.

In this tabletop board game, players will represent a team of scientists and engineers sending a spacecraft on a mission to space.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.

In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores the relative sizes of various objects. Learners compete to organize their hand of cards into lists of objects from largest to smallest.

In this activity, learners find the answer to the question, "if you have a pile of 8 cards, and you remove half, then half again, how many times can you do this until you get to just one card?" This w

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.

In this activity, learners use simple, everyday materials to experiment with balls and ramps.

In this activity, learners play NOAA's Carbon Tracker game and discover ways to keep track of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the world.

This board game teaches learners about energy decision making. Players select cards that determine the transportation and home design that will influence their expenses as they play.

This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.

In this web-based activity, learners try to figure out who in an online chat room has their matching puzzle piece.

In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.
