In this activity, learners will explore what a constellation is and make their own.

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 game, learners take turns guessing toy animals from around their house based on the toy's characteristics.

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

In this activity, young learners explore the basic shapes of constellations by making their own scope out of a cardboard tube and paper with pinpricks.

In this activity (on pages 19-21 of the PDF) learners observe mold growing on potatoes. Preparation for this activity has to start a week before, to allow time for the mold to grow on the potatoes.

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

"Exploring the Universe: Objects in Motion" encourages participants to explore the complex but predictable ways objects in the universe interact with each other.

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.

Use this Moon Map Guide to help learners identify features on the Moon, while looking through a telescope.

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

In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

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 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.

“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.

In this collaborative storytelling activity, learners and caregivers develop a strong story about science and exploration.

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