In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners compare bacteria growth on two petri dishes containing nutrient agar: one that has been touched by a finger washed only with water and one that has been tou

This three-part activity shows learners how to build three meteorology tools: a wind vane, a rain gauge, and a barometer.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and build the tools they need to survive being shipwrecked on a deserted island.

In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.

In this activity, learners construct a coastal landmass from sand and add features such as tidal creeks and barrier islands.

This is an online game recreating the longest ever (at that point in time) freefall jump by Air Force Captain Joe Kittinger.

In this activity, learners will explore probability using dice. They will predict and then roll the dice to observe how many rolls it would take to repeat a matching pair. Learn track predictions vs.

In this activity, learners explore the potential of interchangeable standard parts to create a large number of unique creations in different combinations.

In this quick activity, learners practice locating a constellation in a map of very dark skies.

In this activity, learners build a mini dancing robot. This engineering activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, switches, conductivity, and motors.

In this activity, learners model atmospheric convection currents using food coloring, water, and clear cups. Activity includes step-by-step instructions, STEM connections, and more.

In this activity, learners separate the protein from milk and and use it to make their own glue.

In this activity, learners use sets of cards to assign microorganisms to different groups.

Learners observe different paper samples under ordinary room light and under a black light to learn some of the chemical differences between different types of paper.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have met the challenge of keeping foods, liquids, and other items cool.

In this activity, learners will work together to create a program to navigate a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) through an obstacle course.

In this activity, learners will use their nose to sniff out hidden scents using extracts and cotton balls. Activity includes materials list, game instructions, STEM connections and more.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF) features a recipe to create the stretchy polymer Flubber from Borax detergent, white glue, and water.

In this activity (2nd activity on the page), learners explore the sensitivity of their sense of touch.
