Space Guess Quest is a fun game that encourages participants to identify the many types of objects in space, from human-made spacecraft to nebulas, galaxies, stars, and worlds.

In this activity, learners discover how a super-absorbing material can be used to move a straw.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners catch and observe water striders to explore their movement and feeding behaviors.

In this activity, learners use food scraps from the kitchen to grow new vegetables.

Learners mix a variety of substances with red cabbage juice. The juice changes color to indicate whether each substance is an acid or a base.

In this activity, learners will discover what it takes to be a frog. By dressing up like one, learners can visualize how each part of the frog plays an important role in surviving its habitat.

In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

Using a vertical wind tube and using simple materials, individuals and groups attempt to design a "satellite" that floats for at least 5 seconds.

In this activity, learners will explore the dynamics of air pressure by using a candle, a cup, and a dish of water.

In this activity, learners explore deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a nanoscale structure that occurs in nature.

In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to break a raw egg just by squeezing it. Learners will be shocked by their inability to complete the deceivingly simple challenge.

The goal of this activity is to build a miniature bobsled that is either the fastest or the slowest. Learners use recycled materials to design, build, and test their bobsled on a bobsled track.

In this activity, learners find out why some mineral sunblock rubs in clear. Learners compare nano and non-nano sunblocks and discover how particle size affects visibility.

In this activity, learners recreate a method of detecting and correcting errors in computers called 'parity'.

Make a copy of the first stethoscope with only a cardboard tube! René Laennec invented the first stethoscope in 1819 using an actual paper tube!

In this demonstration about momentum, use physics to distinguish between a hard-boiled egg and a raw egg without cracking them open.

In this activity, educators can demonstrate how the nanoscale arrangement of atoms dramatically impacts a material’s macroscale behavior.

In this activity, learners will build a design and build a place for pollinators to drink from.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.

This game is like regular bingo, except the clues are sounds.
