In this creative activity, learners will find out what makes an insect an insect by studying examples of insect adaptations and by examining why there are so many different types of insects.

In this activity about living things and gravity (page 5 of PDF), learners design and build an exoskeleton or an endoskeleton for an animal of their own invention.

In this activity (page 2 of pdf), learners craft a model of a skate egg case and come to understand that cartilaginous fish such as sharks and shakes employ reproductive strategies that differ from th

In this creative activity, learners will find out what makes an insect an insect by studying examples of insect adaptations and by examining why there are so many different types of insects.

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

In this activity, learners create a three-dimensional sculpture while examining the characteristics of fish.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

In this activity, learners explore what makes a boat float and sink. They examine and test various objects to determine why objects float or sink.

Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.

In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this activity, learners build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity (located on page 6 of PDF), learners observe and reproduce the distinctive physical features (i.e. plates, sharp spikes, long necks, deep jaws, claws) of their favorite dinosaurs.

In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils by making cast models of a T. rex. First, learners read about and research how dinosaur fossils form.

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

In this activity, learners make balloon models of disease-causing bacteria.
