In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion.

In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

In this activity, learners make a model of a power plant that uses steam. Learners use simple materials like foil, a tin can, and a pot of water to model a geothermal power plant.

In this activity about tangrams, learners print and cut out their own tangram shapes and solve puzzles by fitting these geometric pieces together in a variety of ways.

In this activity, learners will test soil content using their sample, some water and a container that seals.

What's a Pickle-Oh? Two pieces of pickle on a stick are connected to a Pico Cricket (micro controller). When you slide the pickles apart the note changes.

In this activity/demo, learners investigate biobarcodes, a nanomedical technology that allows for massively parallel testing that can assist with disease diagnosis.

In this activity, learners create a soil and water model of a single-cell life environment and study living microorganisms.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore what happens when a star explodes.

In this activity, which requires adult supervision, learners get to explore the awesome power of chemistry.

In this activity, learners create their own obstacle course based on Bernoulli's Principle and try to get a floating ball from the start of their course to the finish line.

Many germs spread by our hands, and often times, people don't wash their hands well enough to get rid of germs.

In this activity, learners will imagine the challenges and opportunities of asteroid mining.

In this activity, learners explore nonrenewable resources and learn why these resources are finite.

In this activity, learners discover that a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

Challenge popular misconceptions, learners explore how a mirror actually reflects an image in this activity.

In this Engineering Design Challenge activity, learners will use balloons to investigate how a multi-stage rocket, like that used in the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, can propel a sat

In this activity, learners explore motion and airflow by setting two aluminum cans on their side and blowing air in-between them.

In this activity, learners will discover why there are holes in bread.
