In this activity, kids make and play with Ooze before testing the material in an egg drop!

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an air-powered spinning machine.

Space Guess Quest is a fun game that encourages participants to identify the many types of objects in space, from human-made spacecraft to nebulas, galaxies, stars, and worlds.

In this hands-on activity, learners use an assortment of (mainly household) items to complete Rube Goldberg-type challenges.

In this activity, learners are challenged to create a parachute using easily sourced materials in order to transport a LEGO figure safely to the ground.

In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

In this activity, learners try to put together toy bricks—wearing oven mitts on their hands! This activity shows learners how difficult it is to build small things when your tools are too big.

Using a vertical wind tube and using simple materials, individuals and groups attempt to design a "satellite" that floats for at least 5 seconds.

In this fun and, at times, hilarious force and motion activity, learners will use household objects to build a crazy contraption and see how far they can get a tennis ball to move.

In this activity, learners will discover how to make butter from scratch. One optional tips includes adding marbles to speed up the process.

In this activity, learners explore the chemical reaction between water and effervescent antacid tablets. This hands-on activity models how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In this activity, learners use clear nail polish to create a beautiful iridescent pattern on black paper. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

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

In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.

In this activity, learners build a LEGO® structure while wearing mittens. This activity shows learners how difficult it is to build small things when your tools are too big.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a wind-powered car using only a handful of household materials.
