In this activity, learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "nano sand" and regular sand.

This lab activity has learners create a pendulum with a one-second period.

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

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.

Yes, you can weigh your car by figuring out your wheel's tire pressure combined with the "tire's footprint." You'll need someone with a car, driver's license, and safety in mind.

Learners can program a compass to draw a circle by itself using a Pico Cricket, some Legos, and lots of tape! Pico Cricket is required.
