This activity (on page 2) explores how sensing is part of robotics. Learners try tying their shoes with different constraints.

In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.

This quick demonstration (on page 11 of PDF) allows learners to understand why scientists think water ice could remain frozen in always-dark craters at the poles of the Moon.

When was the last time you took a really close look at a leaf? In this activity, learners will use leaves and simple materials to make colorful leaf rubbings.

In this activity, learners explore a surprising method for calculating the mathematical constant pi, known as Buffon's Needle.

In this activity, learners explore the forces at work in water. Learners experiment to find out what happens to pepper in water when they touch it with bar soap and liquid detergent.

In this activity, learners will explore the dynamics of air pressure by using a candle, a cup, and a dish of water.

Many germs spread by our hands, and often times, people don't wash their hands well enough to get rid of germs.

In this chemistry activity, learners use spaghetti to explore density and chemical reactions.

In this chemistry activity, learners use yeast and hydrogen peroxide to generate a gas (oxygen) and test some of its properties.

This is an activity about robotics programming. Learners will discover how precise programmers have to be as they instruct a friend to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

In this neuroscience activity (4th activity on the page), learners make their own set of Von Frey hairs to test detection thresholds.

In this activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.

In this activity, learners explore the flexibility of polymer chains by pushing sharpened pencils through a Ziploc bag.

In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners test to see if saliva is necessary for food to have taste.

When you teeth clatter, they make quite the racket disproportionately to how much they actually sound to someone else.

In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.

In this activity, learners try to put together toy bricks—wearing oven mitts on their hands! This activity shows learners how difficult it is to build small things when your tools are too big.

In this quick activity, learners drink Avogadro's number worth of molecules - 6.02x10^23 molecules!

In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to insert a straw the furthest into a potato.
