In this activity, learners use their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.

In this tabletop board game, players will represent a team of scientists and engineers sending a spacecraft on a mission to space.

In "Exploring the Solar System: Stomp Rockets," participants learn about how some rockets carry science tools—not scientists—into space, and how a special kind of rocket called "sounding rockets" can

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF, learners investigate the importance of washing their hands.

Learners create an Incan counting device called a quipu (pronounced kee-poo).

Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.

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

In this activity, learners construct three optical illusion toys to examine how our brains play tricks on what we see.

In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

In this activity, learners work in groups to build simple solar stills filled with salt water. After the stills are complete, learners observe what happens when they place the stills in the sun.

In this activity, learners play with surprising sand that doesn’t get wet! Learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "magic sand" and regular sand.

In this activity, learners will use a variety of household and/or natural objects to design a sculpture that balances from a single point.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

In this activity, learners will use their chosen material to build the tallest tower possible in under three minutes. This activity uses problem solving and fine motor skills to challenge learners.

In this activity, learners of all ages will design a functional bird feeder using familiar, every day materials.

In this activity, learners use an astrolabe to measure the altitude of objects. Learners will first practice taking measurements by measuring the altitude of trees and buildings.

In this activity on page 11 of the PDF, learners follow simple steps to recycle old newspaper into new paper.

In this activity, learners use things from the kitchen as building materials to explore how shapes contribute to the strength of different structures.
