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

Make your own speaker with a magnet, wire, and paper cup! If you have a radio with a headphone plug and an old pair of headphones, this is a great tinkering activity.

The "Rocket Reactions" activity is an exciting way to learn about how materials interact, behave, and change.

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.

In this Engineering Design Challenge activity, learners will use balloons to investigate how a multi-stage rocket, like that used in the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, can propel a sat

In this math activity, based on the research of famed astronomer Frank Drake, learners calculate the possibilities of finding intelligent life elsewhere in the universe besides Earth.

In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

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.

Learners will do an experiment to determine which type of paper is strongest while focusing on variables and collecting data.

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

In this fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity, learners construct a model of our place in the Milky Way Galaxy and the distribution of stars, with a quarter and some birdseed.

This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.

This is a hands-on activity exploring how nanoscale particles are used in mineral sunblocks to increase their transparency.

In this activity, learners explore how genetic switches function and the role of genetic switches in the process of evolution.

In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

In this activity learners will be creating art using a traditional Japanese art style.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

In this activity, learners will observe birds in their backyard or local park. They will attempt to find common Ohio birds and will look for bird behaviors just like an ornithologist.

In this card-based personal choice activity, learners review and sort COVID-19 and vaccine science information.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners imagine what would happen if our Sun were replaced with a black hole.
