In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

Is a square stronger than a triangle? Use tongue depressors to build simple shapes. Then apply a little weight to them and see what happens!

What happens when two wave pulses meet in the middle? Send waves down a spring to watch them travel and interact.

In this activity, learners will put a set of containers in order by capacity. Would the tallest container hold more or less water than the wide, short one?

Learners explore how recyclers take advantage of the different properties of materials, such as magnetism and density, to separate them from a mixture.

Use this activity to build division and number sense into any snack time or whenever there is a limited set of things to share among a group: If we deal these out, could everyone get two pieces?

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

This activity is on page 8 of the pdf, part of the Sea Life Discovery Box. This is an activity exploring the characteristics of fish.

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 will learn about a person they admire (famous, family or otherwise) or even themselves and create a life-sized silhouette.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners get their hands dirty by playing in a container of soil. Then they compare the effectiveness of cleaning their hands with just a paper towel vs.

This is an activity about robotics programming. Learners will discover how precise programmers have to be as they instruct a friend to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

In this activity, young learners use their sense of touch rather than sight to identify a mystery object in a bag. Learners take turns acting as "peekers" and "sensers" throughout the game.

In this activity (15th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners use glue and cardboard to construct a maze they use with their eyes closed.

In this activity, learners build bridges using paper and explore how much weight each bridge design can support.

In this activity, learners investigate different types of bird beaks using household items which mimic different beak examples.

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

In this health activity (page 7 of the PDF), learners will discover the importance of handwashing as a factor in reducing the spread of pathogens.

In this math game, learners solve a mind-twisting puzzle using dominoes. Use this activity to help learners practice counting, adding, and solving problems.

Learners use filter paper and water to analyze six different markers. They mark the paper with ink, and dip the paper in water. The water travels up the paper and dissolved ink travels with it.
