Students design and create their own air-powered rockets, in this hands-on activity.

Create a chemical reaction that makes cheese! This hands-on activity demonstrates that molecules and atoms are tiny particles that make up everything around us.

In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.

Learners observe and conduct experiments demonstrating the different properties of hot and cold materials.

In this cooperative game, learners devise strategies about sharing a small space with each other.

In this activity, learners cut out a fish and then "paint" it using universal indicator and acids and bases.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), the learner places a golf ball between salt water and colored fresh water. The golf ball is not as dense as the saltwater.

In this activity learners will create paint out of natural materials. Explore your natural world (or your fridge) and find berries, leaves, or flowers to find a great base for your paint.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

Learners design their own experiment to investigate whether the temperature of the surrounding water affects the rate at which the colored coating dissolves from an M&M.

In this activity, learners create a traditional Mexican noisemaker (a matraca) using cardboard, craft sticks, and a wooden dowel.

Learners create hard water by mixing Epsom salt and water. Then they compare what happens when soap solution is mixed with hard water and regular water.

Learners observe and record what happens when they manipulate bottles containing a liquid (water or corn syrup) and one or more objects (screw, nail, paper clip).

In this hands-on engineering project, kids use two simple machines, levers and inclined planes, to construct their own pinball machines.

In this activity, learners will explore reptile biology by taking temperature readings in various places and comparing them.

In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

In this activity, learners will make their own slushies and learn some of the science behind how the process works.

Make a rattle-like musical instrument! Shake it, hit it, spin it any way you want to!

In this physics activity, learners will explore the concept of buoyancy, especially as it relates to density.

Learners apply their knowledge from a previous study to identify different liquids--water, corn syrup, and vegetable oil.
