This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

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.

In this activity, learners will code an algorithm to make it through a maze.

In this interactive game, learners compare their music-listening skills with that of a three-month-old baby.

In this activity, learners will take a step back and learn the history of the land they live on, and the people who used to live on it.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process and the basic mechanics behind building bridges as they build one themselves using gumdrops and toothpicks.

In this activity, learners will discover how fossils are dug out of the earth by carefully exposing treasures hidden in an artificial rock that is easily made at home.

In this activity, learners separate a mixture of pebbles, salt crystals, and wood pieces. They add water and pour the mixture through a strainer.

Using recycled materials, learners will design a transportation vehicle to carry an egg in an egg toss (a rudimentary model of a shock absorbent transport vessel).

Learners will explore the concept of angular distance, and investigate why the moon appears to be the same size as the sun during a solar eclipse, despite the sun being much larger.

Cardboard Automata are a playful way to explore simple machine elements while creating a mechanical sculpture.

In this craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

DNA is the thread of life. Encoded in its genetic sequence is the information that makes each of us unique.

Using simple materials from around the house and recycled materials, learners will engineer a grabber device to pick up and put down objects that are at least 12 inches away.

In this activity, learners will see how UV light affects colors over time by making their own sunprint on construction paper.

Make two firefly lanterns, then program them to blink to one another and change colors.

In this activity, learners will experiment with textures, shapes, and materials and create their own unique masterpieces.
