This is a simple activity fully driven by imagination. Using materials from the home, toys, or items from nature, learners create their own world to play with.

In this activity, learners make "solar cookies," edible models of the Sun's outer layers using sugar cookies and toppings.

In this activity, learners discover how frogs' bodies change while growing from a tadpole to a frog. Learners create a simple craft that gives a visual display of the metamorphosis process.

In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

This demonstration activity models how Venus appears from Earth.

In this activity about dinosaurs and survival, learners use scrap materials to create a miniature dinosaur habitat that includes a food source, water source, and shelter.

In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.

In this activity, learners will explore the dynamics of air pressure by using a candle, a cup, and a dish of water.

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

Learners discover that soap can be used to power a boat. Learners make a simple, flat boat model, put it in water, and then add a drop of detergent at the back of the boat.

In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

In this activity, learners will use their chosen material to build the tallest tower possible in under three minutes. This activity uses problem solving and fine motor skills to challenge learners.

In this activity, learners will create their very own constellation.

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 will explore engineering concepts to construct a blanket fort using materials sourced from home.

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

In this indoor and outdoor activity, learners discover that insects grow and develop as do all living things, going through a process known as complete metamorphosis.

In this activity, learners will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.

In this activity, learners use information gathered from a variety of sources to design and make their own insect.
