In this activity, learners learn about friction by making their own miniature hovercraft.

In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

In this activity about tangrams, learners print and cut out their own tangram shapes and solve puzzles by fitting these geometric pieces together in a variety of ways.

In this activity, learners will test soil content using their sample, some water and a container that seals.

In this activity/demo, learners investigate biobarcodes, a nanomedical technology that allows for massively parallel testing that can assist with disease diagnosis.

Learners investigate a pre-constructed mystery tube to determine its interior mechanism.

This activity/demo introduces learners to aerogel, a glass nanofoam. Learners discover how aerogel is made and how well it insulates as well as learn about aerogel's other unique properties.

In this activity, learners will experiment with changing flower colors. Learners will investigate the effects of acids and bases on flower colors.

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

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a planktonic organism that will neither float like a cork nor sink like a stone.

In this activity, learners use their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.

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

Most people will break a bone in their body at some point in their life, but how much force does it take to break one?

In this activity, learners will explore the physics of liquids and gas by playing with both! Learners of any age use their own breath to move drops of water across a smooth wax paper surface.

In this activity, learners analyze a fictionalized report of life on Mars, based on a real NASA satellite photo, and explore how to separate scientific fact from fiction.

In this activity, learners make scale models of the Sun and Earth out of paper mache.

Learners build a simple one-cell battery and use an ammeter to measure the flow of current.

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.

Use geometry, a ruler, and a steady hand to create these amazing unfurling paper folds!
