In this activity, learners will use chemistry to create a night sky watercolor painting. They will experiment to learn the effects of mixing crayon, salt, and lemon juice with water color paints.

Learners write or draw with white crayon on white paper. They look and feel to detect their marks on the paper. Then, learners paint over their paper with watercolor paint.

Combine logic and numbers in this game for all ages. Players start with a 10x10 grid of the numbers 1 to 100. One person chooses a secret number and announces the range in which it falls.

In this activity, young learners will make their own flower seed nursery in an egg carton.

In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

In this activity, learners design and build their own parachute using household materials with the goal of landing their passenger safely on a target.

In this outdoor, nighttime activity, learners gather around a brightly lit, white surface and study the behavior of nocturnal animals attracted to the light, particularly night fliers.

In this activity, learners will use their five senses to explore a nature-based area around them.

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 written as a display, but can easily be adapted to a hands-on activity. Learners observe and shake containers of shiny liquids.

In this activity, learners explore different ways to stack cups to meet a personal goal.

In this sunny day, outdoor activity, learners observe changes in shadows over time. The activity also helps to develop a sense of the Earth's motion.

In this activity, learners will create a home for animal friends in their backyard using recycled materials. Some material suggestions include: pine straw and twigs.

This is a series of three quick science activities to do with a spoon, knife, and fork. In the first two activities, learners use the flatware to explore optics, mirrors, reflection, and distortion.

In this activity, learners gain a better understanding of how household/school waste breaks down in a landfill. Learners collect trash and then create miniature landfills in 2-liter bottles.

In this activity, learners explore the concepts of natural selection and observable traits in a game that can be played at home.

Learners explore their surroundings while reasoning about categories and counting.

In this chemistry activity, learners prepare two petri dishes, one filled with water and one filled with milk.

This activity puts a mathematical twist on the familiar “guessing jar.” No guesses allowed, estimates only.
