No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs" by Byron Barton to understand some background information about dinosaurs.

In this indoor and outdoor activity, learners discover that insects grow and develop as do all living things, going through a process known as complete metamorphosis.

In this activity, learners will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.

In this activity, learners use information gathered from a variety of sources to design and make their own insect.

In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

In this activity, learners imitate the way vocal cords work by building a model from a plastic cup, rubber band, and a straw.

In this activity, learners build cars using syringes and water-powered hydraulics. Learners construct the car frame out of cardboard and set up a hydraulic system to raise and lower the car.

In this activity, learners create air cannons out of everyday materials. Learners use their air cannons to investigate air as a force and air pressure.

In this activity, learners will create unique rockets. Each rocket will be powered by air as the learner will blow into a straw and watch their rocket fly.

In this activity, learners will engineer a water irrigation system. Learners will create a ditch irrigation system -- or an acequia-- to move water with the help of gravity.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners will observe how air interacts with a paper helicopter. Learners will test different variables of weight, size, and shape.

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).

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

In this activity, learners work in teams to build and test paper airplanes. Learners try to fly their airplanes directly on the runway and earn points for accuracy.

In this activity, learners will discover how fossils are dug out of the earth by carefully exposing treasures hidden in an artificial rock that is easily made at home.

In this simple and fun activity, learners build a tower of cups to explore distribution of weight. Learners make predictions about their towers and test their designs.

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 activity, learners explore dinosaurs and fossils by creating a diorama.
