Use this activity (10th on the page) to help learners explore memory and how sometimes your brain makes up its own memories. Learners will read and try to remember the words in list #1.

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

In this chemistry activity, learners are asked to form a hypothesis about the behavior of milk as household detergents act upon it.

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

In this activity, learners will build a simple electromagnet. They will test variables that would make the electromagnet stronger.

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.

Learners build a simple hovercraft using air from a balloon to levitate a craft made from a compact disc (CD).

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 genetics activity, learners extract DNA from an onion, using detergent solution, a food processor, and rubbing alcohol. They will also discuss genetic engineering of plants.

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

Using pipe cleaners, straws, and beads, learners explore the building blocks of life by creating their own model of DNA.

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.

As a long-term project, you can rear monarch butterflies at home or in a classroom.

In this activity, learners will be introduced to citizen science projects that can be done from home.

In this activity, learners will explore pendulum motion through scientific trials by using household items with different length strings.

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.
