In this activity, learners build inexpensive kaleidoscopes using transparency paper and foil (instead of mirrors).

In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

In this outdoor activity, learners use artificial bees and paper models of flowers to find out how bees transfer pollen from one flower to another.

In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

In this activity, learners explore different types of fossils by making their out of dough and objects from around the house.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can explore the process used to cast and mold molten metal, glass, and plastics.

In this math lesson, learners practice reading charts and graphs by creating and interpreting glyphs.

In this activity, learners build a simple tabletop seesaw to test how different variables (the position of the fulcrum, distance, weight) affect its balance under increasing weight loads.

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF), learners make their own totem poles out of recycled materials.

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

In this activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will observe both a chemical and a physical change.

In this hands-on activity, learners make New Year's Eve party hats out of wrapping paper. Learners use symmetry and measurement to cut out shapes they need to assemble the hats.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore model planets (that they or an educator will create), using methods NASA scientists use to explore our Solar System.

In this outdoor art/environmental activity, learners create designs that will attract attention to animals and plants in particular habitats, and then test whether their designs attracted the "right"

In this activity, learners make a paper model of a polymer, then make Silly Putty, an actual polymer.

Find out what it would be like to have ears shaped differently from your own! Design and make different animal ears then try them out.

In this activity, learners will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.

Learn about friction and kinetic energy with this cool spinning toy.

Learners complete a series of hands-on and investigative activities to explore cumulus clouds.

In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.
