In this activity, caregivers and young learners work together to make a scale from household materials to compare different weights--an essential principle in early math.

In this activity, learners will construct a device to blow bubbles. By adding corn syrup to the bubble solution, we can increase the surface tension of the bubbles--and their size.

In this activity, learners will turn healthy greens into crispy snacks. Explore concepts of nutrition, dehydration and cooking to create healthy food.

Don't scream for ice cream -- make it with milk, sugar, flavoring and some 'salt-water' ice. Discover the chemistry of ice cream by creating your own.

In this activity, the learner will explore hand eye coordination while using a variation of the ball and cup game.

In this activity about friction and gravity (page seven of the pdf), learners use toy racing cars to explore how the two forces affect the motion of objects.

In this activity, learners will use string and salt to lift an ice cube out of a glass of water. Salt depresses the freezing point of water, allowing it to melt around the string and refreeze.

In this activity, learners will swirl paint into shaving cream to make an extravagant nebula print.

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

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

In this activity, learners create a kind of balance device using a wire coat hanger, some string, and paper cups.

In this activity, learners explore color, light and shadow by creating their own puppets to hold in front of a light source.

This lesson (on pages 15-24 of PDF) explores how sound is caused by vibrating objects. It explains that we hear by feeling vibrations passing through the air.

In this activity, learners are introduced to division and fractions as they share snacks with a group of friends.

In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate air has weight by comparing an inflated balloon to a deflated one.

In this activity, learners practice matching and subitizing as they create the longest domino train possible.

Capture soap bubble patterns on paper! In this activity, learners can create beautiful pictures from popping soap bubbles.

In this activity, learners explore a scale by comparing objects, which look similar but have different weights. Learners predict and then measure the weights of various objects using a scale.

In this activity, learners will explore saturated solutions and discover how crystals form.

In this art/science/math activity, young learners are introduced to the concept of symmetry in nature.
