Hungry as a Caterpillar
Source Institutions
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.

Make A Map for A Treasure Hunt
Source Institutions
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.

Expanding Balloon Universe
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will discover how our universe is continuously expanding.

Rocket Mice
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make a model rocket to test the phrase "what goes up must come down." Learners will power their rockets with air pressure, and soon discover the effects of air resistan

Family Fort Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore engineering concepts to construct a blanket fort using materials sourced from home.

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

Apartment Buildings and More
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, young learners investigate multi-level buildings.

Constellation Tubes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their very own constellation.

Pop Rockets
Source Institutions
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.

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

Copter Engineering
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners engineer a paper helicopter that spins to the ground when dropped.

Rainbow Refraction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how light can refract or break apart into different colors.

Paper Mache Dinosaurs
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 6 of PDF), learners observe and reproduce the distinctive physical features (i.e. plates, sharp spikes, long necks, deep jaws, claws) of their favorite dinosaurs.

Building Tall
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity (page 2 of PDF), young learners investigate how a wide base can make a building more stable. Learners use blocks or boxes of different sizes to construct stable towers.

Lub Dub: Make a Heart Valve
Source Institutions
Learners will construct a model of a heart valve using a film canister, a piece of masking tape, and a piece of paper.

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

Straw Rockets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create unique rockets. Each rocket will be powered by air as the learner will blow into a straw and watch their rocket fly.

Helicopters
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will observe how air interacts with a paper helicopter. Learners will test different variables of weight, size, and shape.

Levers at Play
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

Waterhouse Hawkins and the Nano Dinosphere Museum
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaurs and fossils by creating a diorama.
