In this activity, learners will use simple materials to explore centripetal force and variables by swinging a cup of water without having the water spill out.

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.

Test the buoyancy of an aluminum foil boat and an aluminum foil ball. Why does the same material in different shapes sink or float?

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 will discover how our universe is continuously expanding.

In this activity, learners explore the concepts of density and basic chemical reactions as they create a homemade lava lamp effect using water, oil, food coloring, and Alka-Seltzer tablets.

Experiment with liquids of different densities and create liquid layers. For example, oil and water have different densities: oil floats on water because it is less dense than water.

In this math activity, learners predict how many pom-poms they can toss inside a circle from three feet away. Use this activity to help learners explore probability.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to build a tower out of 10 sheets of newspaper and 3 feet of masking tape, which can hold a golf ball balancing at the top.

In this activity, learners develop spatial reasoning skills as they blow bubbles and observe what happens when the bubbles connect.

In this activity, learners will use bubble wrap to print patterns on paper and experiment with mixing colors.

In this activity, learners use tangrams ( 7-piece puzzle tiles) to assemble a variety of shapes. Tangrams are ideal for improving spatial reasoning and geometry properties.

In this activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will observe a physical change.

In this activity, learners create a hearing based memory game that they can share with friends.

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.

In this activity, learners use transparent tape and polarizing material to create and project beautifully colored patterns reminiscent of abstract or geometric stained glass windows--no glass required

Learners explore the endless possibilities of cardboard engineering in this open-ended STEAM activity. Practice being creative by building structures with no glue, only cardboard and scissors.

This is part 3 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. Before starting this section, learners must have completed part 1: sedimentary rock and part 2: metamorphic rocks.

In this activity on page 8 of the PDF, learners make a slimy substance very similar to mucus, and sprinkle it with glitter to imitate the way that allergens are trapped.

Can you read the sentence "I C U"? Not really - but if you say each letter aloud, you'll say the simple sentence, "I see you." What if you change the "C" into a picture of an eye?
