In this activity (on pages 41-47 of PDF), learners explore tesselating geometric patterns (repeated shapes, similar to the art of M.C. Escher).

In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

In this activity (located on pages 23-24 of the PDF), learners are introduced to structural engineering and encouraged to practice goal-oriented building.

In this activity (18th on the page), learners conduct an experiment to examine memory.

To learn how friction affects motion, learners build a measurement tool from a rubber band and other simple materials.

In this activity, learners explore how nanosized structures can create brilliant color.

In this simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.

In this math lesson, learners analyze the density of liquids in order to explore linear functions.

In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

In this activity (23rd on the page), learners conduct an experiment to examine memory and learning.

In this activity, learners try pouring water out of a regular cup and a miniature cup. It’s harder than it sounds! Learners discover that different forces dominate at different size scales.

In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.

In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

In this math lesson, learners explore polynomial and rational function patterns.

In this activity (on page 134 of the PDF), learners explore reaction time.

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.

In this activity, learners create a colorful bookmark using a super thin layer of nail polish on water. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.
