Tangram Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity about tangrams, learners print and cut out their own tangram shapes and solve puzzles by fitting these geometric pieces together in a variety of ways.

Magnetic Pendulum
Source Institutions
In this activity about magnetism (page 15 of the PDF), learners will explore how opposite and similar magnetic poles affect a swinging (pendulum) magnet.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Robot
Source Institutions
This is an activity about robotics programming. Learners will discover how precise programmers have to be as they instruct a friend to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Limewater
Source Institutions
This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 6 of the PDF). Students make a limewater testing solution for carbon dioxide and explore the concepts of solubility and precipitates.

Paper Airplane Contest
Source Institutions
In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.

Catapult
Source Institutions
In this activity about transfer of energy, learners get to build their own catapult using nothing more than a plastic spoon and some tape.

Chain Reaction II
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners use an assortment of (mainly household) items to complete Rube Goldberg-type challenges.

Hieroglyph Holiday
Source Institutions
In this activity about archaeology, learners will explore different Egyptian hieroglyphs and recognize their meanings and uses.

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

Optical Morpher
Source Institutions
In this amazing activity about light and reflection, learners will use a pie plate and reflective strips from a mylar balloon to try to morph their face into a friend's.

Make Your Own Pendulum
Source Institutions
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

Chemical Reactions in Your Mouth
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will see that chewing is more than just the crushing up of food; there is actually a chemical change going on at the same time.

In Proportion
Source Institutions
Through this nutrition activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will understand—and probably be surprised by—how big serving sizes of various foods should be.

Glitter Bottles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create glitter bottles with adult supervision. These are a fun way for little ones to practice observing and making comparisons.

Baffling Body
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will learn about proprioception, or the body's sense of its place and position in space.

COSI Quicksand
Source Institutions
In this chemistry experiment, learners get to make a very bizarre substance using corn starch and water. Is it a solid? Is it a liquid? Or is it a different kind of substance entirely?

School of Fish
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make fish cutouts that propel through the water with the help of surface tension.

All About Air
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners with explore the gases present in air. They will then build their own wind cannons and challenge family and friends to a friendly competition.

Rock Candy
Source Institutions
In this yummy chemistry activity which requires adult supervision, learners use sugar and water to explore how crystals form.

Magnetism Hunt
Source Institutions
In this activity about magnetism (page 4 of the PDF), learners will experiment with magnets and different objects to find out that not all metals are attracted to magnets.
