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.

In this activity, learners use pop-beads to understand the characteristics and properties of polymer chains.

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

In this activity (pages 17-31), learners are introduced to techniques that are used to determine the structures of solid materials.

In this activity (pages 7-16), learners model various crystal structures with LEGOs. This activity also contains additional links that explain how to create other crystal structures.

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed big wheels or Ferris wheels.

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an octopus-inspired suction pad that can grab an object and hold it tightly in the air.

In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

In this activity, learners investigate the basic crystal structures that metal atoms form.

In this activity, learners create air cannons out of everyday materials. Learners use their air cannons to investigate air as a force and air pressure.

In this activity (pages 32-41), learners learn how the atomic and molecular arrangement of matter are related to physical properties.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

In this activity (pages 42-49), learners discover the methods and challenges of building nanoscale structures with macroscale equipment.

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

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