In this activity, learners listen to a story and tell a story of their own as they learn about the importance of elders in Native American cultures.

In this hands-on engineering project, kids use two simple machines, levers and inclined planes, to construct their own pinball machines.

This simple construction activity teaches the importance of architectural structure. Learners build and test designs for a paper "doghouse" strong enough to hold the weight of a jumbo dog biscuit.

In this activity, learners explore how ordinary marshmallows expand when heated in a microwave.

Learners experiment with a 2-liter plastic bottle containing water and four “divers." The divers consist of open, transparent containers with the opening points downward.

In this online Flash game, learners will explore a coral reef using an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

In this activity, learners make plates levitate! Learners build "hovercrafts" using simple materials to explore friction and motion.

In this up-cycling activity, learners recycle plastic bags and repurpose them into useful wallets.

In this activity, the learner will experiment with the physics of sound production while making a sound making toy. The activity includes a video with step by step instructions.

In this engineering design challenge, learners animate a facial expression and make a machine (zoetrope) that plays the animation back.

In this classic reaction, learners baking soda and vinegar in a soda bottle to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. This gas inflates a balloon.

This hands-on activity lets participant explore chemical reactions as they create a soda explosion with lots of bubbles. The bubbles in soda are made of carbon dioxide gas.

In this activity, learners build an electric two-paddle boat using paint paddles, plastic knives, and empty water bottles.

In this activity, learners will explore reptile biology by taking temperature readings in various places and comparing them.

In this activity (on pages 41-47 of PDF), learners explore tesselating geometric patterns (repeated shapes, similar to the art of M.C. Escher).

In this activity, multiple learners will use a game with ballloons to learn about coqui frog behavior.

In this is activity about sound and vibration, learners create their own 'flutes' with drinking straws, then investigate how changing the length of the straw affects the sounds that are produced.

In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

In this collecting/comparing activity, learners work with samples of sand from different places like a lakefront, river, or ocean beach.

In this activity, learners will make their own slushies and learn some of the science behind how the process works.
