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

In this activity, learners perform a plant dissection to gain a better understanding of a plant’s structure and function.

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

Make a camouflage cut-out animal! Using patterned paper or magazine pictures from around the house, use your craft skills to make a paper animal that blends into its background.

In this activity (on pages 55-66 of PDF), learners fold paper into origami shapes and then combine several identical shapes into a three-dimensional structure.

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

In this activity (located on page 2 of PDF), learners sing together a song that gives details about the dinosaur species Suchomimus (pronounced “Sook-o-mime-us”).

In this activity, learners build their own rockets from paper, coffee stirrers, and tape. Learners discover that when anything flies, air pressure is always involved.

This activity about density provides instructions for making a miniature "lava lite" with just salt, oil, water, and food coloring.

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

Learners roll their fingerpads in ink pads, and then press their fingerprints onto balloons. Learners inflate the balloons to produce enlarged versions of their fingerprints.

In this activity, learners observe the hydrologic cycle in action as water evaporates and condenses to form rain right before their eyes.

In this activity, learners cutout a set of shape finder templates to explore shapes in the world around them.

In this activity, learners imagine what the world might look like if we could build an elevator to space!

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons.

"Exploring the Solar System: Craters" is an active, hands-on activity that demonstrates how craters form, and what they can teach us about the history and composition of planets and moons.

Learners will construct a model of a heart valve using a film canister, a piece of masking tape, and a piece of paper.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of plastic bags. Learners find out what happens when they slowly push a pencil through a plastic bag filled with water.

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.

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