In this activity, learners build magnetic towers to explore the forces and properties of magnets.

This is an online simulation of how sound changes due to environment. How does place--like a cave, a pier, or a forest--affect certain sounds?

This assortment of mathematical games can be played while traveling.

This is a hands-on activity that uses bread and household materials to grow mold. Learners collect dust from a room, wipe it on food, and contain it. One to seven days later, mold has grown.

In this activity, young learners will experiment with a basic chemical reaction and observe what happens when gas gets trapped! Activity includes step-by-step instructions, safety notes and more.

Build a car that runs on air. Using household materials, experiment with the power of air to create thrust powerful enough to move a homemade car.

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