This is an activity to do when there is a solar eclipse!

Bones are stiff, which helps us lift heavy things and walk around, but they are also somewhat flexible, which lets them bend slightly.

In this activity, learners use food scraps from the kitchen to grow new vegetables.

In this activity, learners will build a design and build a place for pollinators to drink from.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

In this activity, learners make a model of a one-way heart valve to investigate how a heart controls the direction of blood flow.

Doctors often send a sample of blood to a lab, to make sure their patients are healthy.

In this activity, learners manipulate paper to build original 3-dimensional sculptures. Appropriate for any age, learners can use fingers to tear, crumple, or fold, and if available, scissors to cut.

In this activity, learners will create their own simple shadow puppets, and experiment with light and shadow while playing with them.

In this activity, learners explore and compare the buoyant properties of materials found in nature and in human-made materials.

In this activity, learners will reuse plastic bags in an interesting way.

In this activity, learners will dissect a pumpkin or winter squash to learn the parts of the plant. This activity gets your learner hands on with every part of the plant and will be messy.

Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

In this tabletop board game, players will represent a team of scientists and engineers sending a spacecraft on a mission to space.

In this activity, learners explore electronics and motion by making a Scribbling Machine, a motorized contraption that moves in unusual ways and leaves a mark to trace its path.

This is written as a static display, but can easily become a hands-on experiment for learners.

In this activity, learners will use a variety of household and/or natural objects to design a sculpture that balances from a single point.

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

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores the relative sizes of various objects. Learners compete to organize their hand of cards into lists of objects from largest to smallest.

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