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

In this activity, learners simulate the process of DNA fingerprinting by using electricity to separate colored dyes.

This activity guide includes instructions on how to build a "Shake Table" by mounting an eccentric mass (off center) on the shaft of a small dc motor.

This hands-on astronomy activity allows you to create a “cutaway” telescope to clearly show how reflector and refractor telescopes work.

Learners build a wind turbine and test it to see how much energy is created.

In this activity, learners solidify their conceptualization of cells by building a model of a cell in a ziplock bag.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

By tossing, collecting, and sorting beanbags, learners understand how the IBEX spacecraft uses its sensors to detect and map the locations of particle types in the interstellar boundary.

In this activity, learners build a miniature wind tunnel to measure force. Learners construct the model out of Lexan plastic, a fan, and a precise digital scale.

In this activity, learners interact with a 3-D model of a watershed to better understand the interconnectedness of terrestrial and aquatic environments.

In this activity, learners make a model of a pollution spill that occurred at Bangs Lake in Mississippi and measure water quality parameters in their model.

In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.
