No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this activity, learners make film canister rocket ships. A fin pattern is glued onto the outside of the canister, and fuel (water and half an antacid tablet) is mixed inside the canister.

In this activity, learners interact with a 3-D model of a watershed to better understand the interconnectedness of terrestrial and aquatic environments.

In this activity, learners build water-propelled engines from soft drink cans.

In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.

Learners will construct a model of a heart valve using a film canister, a piece of masking tape, and a piece of paper.

This is part 1 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. In this activity, learners explore how sedimentary rocks form.

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

In this activity, participants will learn about how gigantic clouds of gas and dust in space, called nebulas, are formed. They'll create their own colorful model nebula using paint and a spinner.

In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.

In this activity, learners recreate the lunar phases using the frosting from Oreo® cookies and place the phases in order. Round cream cheese crackers can also be used if cookies are not an option.

In this activity, participants will learn how stars form from the dust and gas that exists in space clumping together.

In this activity, learners explore how distance can affect the way we perceive the size of an object.

This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

In this activity, learners explore a bucket of sand and beach objects.
