In this activity, learners will investigate air and gravity through the use of various fabrics by through them in the air. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

This activity demonstrates the importance of wearing a helmet to protect the brain. An egg is used to symbolize a head with the shell as the skull and the inside of the egg as the brain.

This is an activity about motion, power, air and Newton’s Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.

In this math lesson, learners participate in a variety of activities that give them experience in recognizing, describing, and extending repeating and arithmetic patterns.

In this activity, learners use the design thinking process to design and build their own aqueduct, or water bridge.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.

In this activity, learners compare plant and animal life in different habitats including a sidewalk crack and lawn. Learners sort human-made materials and natural materials found in each habitat.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this activity on page 13 of the PDF, use a special plastic card that has been painted with a chemical that changes color when it is in UV light.

In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

Use this Moon Map Guide to help learners identify features on the Moon, while looking through a telescope.

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

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.

In this activity, learners build handheld rockets and launchers out of PVC pipes and plastic bottles. Use this activity to demonstrate acceleration, air pressure, and Newton's Laws of Motion.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.
