In this activity, young learners use different-sized paper 'caterpillars' and various household items to predict and measure their height.

In this activity, learners explore reaction time and challenge themselves to improve their coordination. Do you want to move faster? Catch that ball that you never seem to see in time?

In this activity, learners design and build a Zoom-a-rang using everyday materials. Experiment with different materials and Zoom-a-rang designs to see how they fly.

In this quick activity, learners explore how blubber protects animals from the cold by making a "blubber mitt." Using cooking shortening, two zip-top sandwich bags, and duct tape, learners simulate bl

In this activity, learners test what happens when they put baking power on different frozen liquids.

In this activity, learners mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.

In this activity, learners try to put together toy bricks—wearing oven mitts on their hands! This activity shows learners how difficult it is to build small things when your tools are too big.

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

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized "whiskers" can protect clothing from stains.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.

In this activity about sea otters, learners make their own "otter whiskers" and use them to find objects underwater.

In this activity, learners touch and observe skulls of sharks and rays to learn about their diversity (over 400 species of sharks alone!).

This activity teaches combustion as the interaction of a fuel source and oxygen.

In this activity, participants will learn about how gigantic clouds of gas and dust in space, called nebulas, are formed. They'll create their own colorful model nebula using paint and a spinner.

In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.

In this activity, learners discover that a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In this activity, learners will keep track of how much they can do in one minute. Instructors can pick something everyone will do for a minute, such as jumping up and down or drawing stars.

In this activity, learners keep track of how much paper the group uses in a week. Build awareness of paper waste, while strengthening measurement and estimation skills.

In this activity, learners build a LEGO® structure while wearing mittens. This activity shows learners how difficult it is to build small things when your tools are too big.

Learners mix liquid water with solid cornstarch. They investigate the slime produced, which has properties of both a solid and a liquid.
