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.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind the conveyor belt and consider the impact this invention has had on transportation and the coordinated shipping and delivery of goods.

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

Do you have an extra portable cassette tape player hanging around?

Learners shred used paper, add water, and blend it into pulp. They then strain and roll the pulp out to make new paper.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners imagine what would happen if our Sun were replaced with a black hole.

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

In this quick and simple activity about reflexes (at the top of the webpage), learners conduct a simple test to explore pupillary response.

In this activity (8th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners make their own set of Braille letters. Learners use glue to make raised dots on a Braille Alphabet Sheet.

In this activity, learners use earthworms as "unknown creatures" from the South American jungle to find out how animals use senses.

In this activity (7th activity on the page), learners use their sense of touch to identify mystery objects hidden in socks.

In this activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore how what you see influences taste. In experiment 1, learners taste five sodas, one of which is clear soda with orange food coloring.

In this activity, learners explore electricity and conductivity to find that many things conduct electricity including copper, pencil lead, fruit, play-doh, and even people!

In this activity, learners explore the great pump in their chests--the human heart!

In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners make an acid-base indicator using cabbage. Learners then explore how various subtances react with this indicator.

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.

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