Spool Racer
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, challenge learners to make a rubber band-powered spool racer. Demonstrate principles of motion as well as potential and kinetic energy.

Minibot
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a mini dancing robot. This engineering activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, switches, conductivity, and motors.

Convection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model atmospheric convection currents using food coloring, water, and clear cups. Activity includes step-by-step instructions, STEM connections, and more.

Fraction Penguin
Source Institutions
In this craft activity, learners will recognize, name, and compare the fractions 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 by constructing a penguin out of portions of paper circles.

Paper Whites
Source Institutions
Learners observe different paper samples under ordinary room light and under a black light to learn some of the chemical differences between different types of paper.

Thumb Piano
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing a simple piano out of wood and craft sticks.

Molecule Match
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use their nose to sniff out hidden scents using extracts and cotton balls. Activity includes materials list, game instructions, STEM connections and more.

Flubber: Make a polymer!
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF) features a recipe to create the stretchy polymer Flubber from Borax detergent, white glue, and water.

Sand Paper Rankings
Source Institutions
In this activity (2nd activity on the page), learners explore the sensitivity of their sense of touch.

Depth Perception
Source Institutions
In this easy demonstration (3rd on the page), learners explore depth perception by conducting a test with two pencils.

Snake
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will construct their own spiral "snake" and use it to explore the relationship between heat and kinetic energy.

Newspaper Bridges
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build bridges out of newspaper and tape to explore how structures are designed to bear loads.
Coat Hanger Chimes
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will--using nothing more than a coat hanger and some string--explore and understand sound energy and how it moves.

Skewers and Garden Poles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.

Sock It To Me!
Source Institutions
In this activity (7th activity on the page), learners use their sense of touch to identify mystery objects hidden in socks.

100 Puzzles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners find as many combinations of a hundred as they can using various puzzle pieces from a hundred square grid paper.

Plaster Casts
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners combine two substances (plaster of Paris and water) to make a cast of an object's imprint in clay.

Family Traits and Traditions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a matching game with their families to discover common inherited traits and traditions. Learners distinguish between inherited traits and learned traditions.

Shaking It!
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

All Things Being Equal
Source Institutions
In this game, learners strategize to win the most cards by building number equations. Learners practice operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) to construct their equations.
