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

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?

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

Use this model to demonstrate the goal of NASA's Kepler Mission: to find extrasolar planets through the transit method.

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

In this activity, learners create a map of a hidden surface using a "sounding stick" -- a technique similar to how underwater maps were once made.

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 models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

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 use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.

This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.
