In this hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.

This activity (on pages 10-12 of the PDF) encourages learners to consider what makes living things different from non-living things.

In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about crystals by growing their very own.

In this demonstration about force and motion, learners will explore the forces that affect a pendulum A simple model pendulum comprised of a ball and string demonstrates how pendulums work as well as

In this archaeology-related activity, learners build their own time capsule and choose a storage location and a date to reopen it.

In this activity, learners will "paint" their own crystal artwork by creating a picture with a super saturated salt solution.

Investigate the interaction of liquids of different densities and experiment with wave patterns with this hands-on activity.

In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.

In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

In this activity, learners explore how hot and cold water move. Learners observe that temperature and density affect how liquids rise and fall.

In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.

In this quick activity, learners break the tension that happens when water develops a "skin." Learners use water, pepper and some soap to discover the wonders of surface tension—the force that attract

In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.

In this activity, young learners will learn about moon phases using materials found at home. This activity is adapted using play dough and cups to avoid food allergens and waste.

In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.

This is a guide for facilitating interaction at a touch tank with marine animals. The instructions are for setting up a display in an informal science center, but could work anywhere.

In this activity, learners will engineer their own weather vane. This activity includes step-by-step instructions with pictures and a "What's Happening?" section explaining how the activity worked.

In this activity about magnetism (page seven of the pdf), learners experiment with magnets to better understand how magnetic fields work.

In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.
