In this math activity, learners use a variety of sensory modalities to gain experiences with identifying, describing and creating repeating patterns.

In this engineering design challenge, learners animate a facial expression and make a machine (zoetrope) that plays the animation back.

In this set of outdoor games, learners increase their awareness of the outdoor environment by going on a scavenger hunt and an out-of-place hunt.

In this activity, learners create and experiment with wind tubes. These tubes are a playful and inventive way to explore the effect that moving air has on objects.

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 follow simple historical maritime recipes to cook up hardtack and swanky, and then compare the foods they eat to what was served on ships in the past.

In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaurs and fossils by creating a diorama.

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

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this activity, learners will explore the water cycle by creating a small atmosphere.

In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.

This activity (on pages 10-12 of the PDF) encourages learners to consider what makes living things different from non-living things.

In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.

In this math lesson, learners make wallets or purses and then participate in a variety of money-related activities. First, learners make their own paper money and paper wallets or purses.

In this two-part activity, learners explore the Earth and Sun's positions in relation to the constellations of the ecliptic with a small model.

In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, size, and bounce height.

In this activity, learners build bridges and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with straws and pins.

In this activity, learners make a parachute out of tissue paper, tape, and string. Then, learners test their parachute to see how many paper clips it can carry.
