In this activity, learners surprisingly pop balloons without touching them using orange peels. This Mr.

In this sports-themed engineering activity, learners create super bouncy balls out of balloons. Learners brainstorm, test their designs, and share results.

In this activity, groups cut out and sort cards showing items recovered from a crash landing on the Moon. The 12 items range from food and water to rope and matches to a self-inflating life raft.

Learners set up three different bowls, each with a different mass of oatmeal. Learners monitor the temperature of the oatmeal and find that larger masses take longer to cool.

Create an illusion where it appears that your hand has a hole in it. You'll see the results from when one eye gets conflicting information.

In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

In this activity, learners explore the behavior of cold-blooded animals. Learners discover what happens when they change a fly's temperature.

In this creativity-based activity, learners imagine what the Earth will look like in the near and distant future, then design their own future habitat and creatures that may live there.

In this activity, learners use plastic tubing and a funnel to listen to their heart. Learners also discover that if they run around, their heart pumps harder and faster, making it easier to hear.

Learners mix vinegar and baking soda together in a bottle to create a chemical reaction. The reaction produces a gas, carbon dioxide, which inflates a balloon attached to the mouth of the bottle.

In this robotics activity, learners find ways to express emotions and feelings using only body movements, not facial expressions.

In this optics activity, learners explore color by examining color dots through colored water and the light of a flashlight.

In this activity (pages 3-4), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.

In this activity, learners eat a snack and make a model of the plumbing system of a volcano.

In this optics activity, learners explore how light bends and affects what we see.

In this activity, learners explore polymer structure and their ability to reform around objects by attempting to stab a wooden skewer through a balloon without popping it.

In this activity, learners explore the structure of plant leaves. Learners find out what happens when they coat either the top or bottom sides of leaves with petroleum jelly.

In this activity, learners experiment with the Stroop Effect by challenging themselves and others to try and read a list of colors as quickly and accurately as possible, with a twist.

In this activity, learners investigate feeding relationships. Learners complete a food web and then make a mobile to represent a food chain.

In this activity, learners make their own edible DNA double helix out of candy and find out about the shape of DNA.
