In this activity, learners will explore ways static electricity interacts with the surroundings of an object. The activity has step-by-step instructions in English and Navajo.

In this indoor or outdoor demonstration, use a large and small ball to illustrate conservation of energy and momentum.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing tube zithers, stringed instruments from Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.

In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.

In this demonstration, learners attempt to get a large coin through a small hole, the size of a smaller coin.

In this activity, learners will engineer a water irrigation system. Learners will create a ditch irrigation system -- or an acequia-- to move water with the help of gravity.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

This activity/demo introduces learners to aerogel, a glass nanofoam. Learners discover how aerogel is made and how well it insulates as well as learn about aerogel's other unique properties.

In this activity, learners will experiment with changing flower colors. Learners will investigate the effects of acids and bases on flower colors.

Learners construct and launch paper helicopters.

In this online activity about anatomy, learners will drag and drop pieces of the heart into their proper positions and explore what function each part of the heart has.

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

In this interactive game, learners compare their music-listening skills with that of a three-month-old baby.

In this activity, learners will take a step back and learn the history of the land they live on, and the people who used to live on it.

In this activity, learners determine whether thermal energy can be used for work.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

In this activity, learners construct a rocket powered by the pressure generated from an effervescing antacid tablet reacting with water, and build a launch pad for their rocket.

In this experiment, learners examine how pressure affects water flow. In small groups, learners work with water and a soda bottle, and then relate their findings to pressure in the deep ocean.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process and the basic mechanics behind building bridges as they build one themselves using gumdrops and toothpicks.

In this activity, learners explore surgical instrument design. Teams of learners construct surgical instruments from everyday materials.
