Nano Latch-n-Catch
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.
Topographic Investigation: Map an Underwater Surface
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a map of a hidden surface using a "sounding stick" -- a technique similar to how underwater maps were once made.
Stomp Rocket
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build rockets and shoot them into the air by stomping on the plastic bottle launchers.
Forward-Reverse Switch
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a switch to turn electrical circuits on and off.
Woodpecker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.
Pop! Rocket Launcher
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.
Cranking Bird
Source Institutions
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.
Investigating Ice Worlds
Source Institutions
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.
Roller Coasters
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.
Puff Mobile
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, challenge learners to design a car using only 3 straws, 4 Lifesavers™, 1 piece of paper, 2 paper clips, tape, and scissors.
Pollinator Play
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build a bee hotel for pollinators. Learners will explore building and ecology through this activity.
Film Canister Rocket
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct and launch rockets using simple materials and their understanding of chemical reactions.
Static Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use static elecricity to bend a stream of water without touching it. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.
Sound Automata
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build their own sound machines and explore the interplay of motion and sound.
Sticky Structures
Source Institutions
In this engineering/design/arts and crafts activity, learners design and build "platforms" or "bridges" that can hold weight, and test which glue makes the strongest structure.
Potion Commotion
Source Institutions
In this hands-on science experiment, students combine their understanding of the different states of matter and the characteristics of various chemical reactions.
Operation Espionage
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create and reveal secret messages written with invisible ink! The invisible ink is actually a baking soda solution, and the magical revealing liquid is fruit juice.
Three Little Pigs
Source Institutions
In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.
Translating an Alien Message
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work together to interpret an "alien message." The group pretends that this is the only message from an imaginary civilization, so there is no "key" and thus no "correct" wa
Design a Park
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!
