In this activity, learners will explore the physics of air by making a snake kite.

Learners design different shaped bandages for different purposes. First, they draw their designs on paper.

In this activity, learners will observe magnetic properties and sort objects by them. This activity uses everyday items to teach learners about magnetic forces, poles and properties of magnets.

In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

In this activity, learners explore how hot and cold water move. Learners observe that temperature and density affect how liquids rise and fall.

In this activity, learners will construct a measuring device (snake "string") to improve their observation skills.

In this craft activity, learners will explore the structure and purpose of antelope horns by constructing their own headband using toilet paper rolls and yarn.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

In this activity, learners with explore the gases present in air. They will then build their own wind cannons and challenge family and friends to a friendly competition.

In this self-measuring activity, learners measure and record the length of their foot.

In this activity learners will build a neighborhood out of blocks and cardboard.

“Exploring the Universe: Orbiting Objects” is a hands-on activity that invites visitors to experiment with different sized and weighted balls on a stretchy fabric gravity well.

We listen to stereo music systems, tv's, and radios because it simulates being where the sound originates.

In this activity, learners explore what makes a boat float and sink. They examine and test various objects to determine why objects float or sink.

Learners make a counting/estimating jar to exchange with friends or bring home.

In this activity, learners will create their own coral polyps - the basis for a coral reef.

In this activity, learners create slime to model mucus and examine how it collects simulated particles. Mucus keeps particles from the environment out of our lungs when we breathe.

In this activity, learners will build thier own balance scale. Learners will explore weight and comparison through this activity.

In this quick activity, learners explore static electricity using a plastic comb, wool cloth, puffed rice, and a plastic bag.

In this activity (located on page 3 of the PDF), learners investigate the way water moves and how we can control and direct water.
