In this activity, learners build a mini crank machine to make a bird "fly." This engineering activity introduces learners to automata, rotational motion, cranks and cams.

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.

In this activity, learners play a game similar to Tic-Tac-Toe. In this version, learners try NOT to get three-in-a-row. The player who gets three-in-a-row first loses!

Los Momentos de Mixing in Math son actividades de 5 a 10 minutos que mantienen a los chicos ocupados, aprendiendo sobre el mundo, y usando matemáticas por su cuenta.

In this activity, learners will build a roller coaster for a marble to run on using everyday household materials such as paper towel or toilet paper rolls, cups, boxes, books, buckets, chairs, etc.

In this activity, learners design wind-powered cars out of simple household materials. Students have fun designing and then racing their vehicles around the room.

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

“Exploring Earth: Rising Sea” is a hands-on activity demonstrating ways to use topographical mapping techniques to track changes in sea level. The activity is connected to current NASA research.

What's a more compelling problem to solve than being stranded on a deserted island?

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

During this hands-on activity, learners are briefly exposed to moviemaking and animation, when they create their own thaumatropes.

In this activity, learners use recycled materials to build a bridge that holds as many potatoes as possible. They investigate weight, height, strength, and measurement as they seek design solutions.

In this hands-on activity, children create their own kites that can fly indoors. Learners are exposed to basic concepts of gravity and air resistance.

In this activity learners will build a neighborhood out of blocks and cardboard.

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 create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

In this Cyberchase activity, learners use the numbers one through six to solve a puzzle.

In this delicious activity, learners get to make, taste-test and compare their own "brands" of homemade strawberry ice cream.

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

Learners design different shaped bandages for different purposes. First, they draw their designs on paper.
