In this activity, learners will experiment with the physics of flight by making a gliding contraption with strange looking wings. The activity explores flight with connections to the natural world.

In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

Investigate how force and thrust work to propel rockets into outer space. Build a rocket: a blown-up balloon taped to a drinking straw threaded through some string.

In this activity, learners play a game similar to Tic-Tac-Toe. In this version, learners try NOT to get three-in-a-row. The player who gets three-in-a-row first loses!

Los Momentos de Mixing in Math son actividades de 5 a 10 minutos que mantienen a los chicos ocupados, aprendiendo sobre el mundo, y usando matemáticas por su cuenta.

In this activity, learners will build a roller coaster for a marble to run on using everyday household materials such as paper towel or toilet paper rolls, cups, boxes, books, buckets, chairs, etc.

In this activity, learners design wind-powered cars out of simple household materials. Students have fun designing and then racing their vehicles around the room.

In this physics activity, challenge learners to lift a book with just air using a plastic bag and a straw. This activity demonstrates compressed air and forces.

In this activity, learners will explore their center of gravity.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners create a safety device to protect an egg "passenger" in a toy car crash. Learners experiment with different solutions to this very problem.

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

“Exploring Earth: Rising Sea” is a hands-on activity demonstrating ways to use topographical mapping techniques to track changes in sea level. The activity is connected to current NASA research.

In this collaborative storytelling activity, learners and caregivers develop a strong story about science and exploration.

This activity (on pages 10-12 of the PDF) encourages learners to consider what makes living things different from non-living things.

What's a more compelling problem to solve than being stranded on a deserted island?

Use echolocation to find others and experience how whales’ senses have adapted to suit their environment. In pairs, learners are blindfolded and use containers filled with marbles to find each other.

In this activity, learners will explore the foods that are in their kitchen and what sugars are inside of them. Explore nutrition and food labels to better understand the foods you eat.

In this activity, learners discover that it is difficult to trace a curve by using its reflection in a mirror. Use this activity to discuss how the brain works.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.
