In this activity, learners plan and create a 24-foot long, two-dimensional model of our solar system, and compare and contrast the differences between planets and the sun.

In this activity, learners will discover how our universe is continuously expanding.

In this activity, learners construct paper airplanes that twist and turn.

In this activity, learners make a model of the hot water of a deep sea vent in the cold water of the ocean to learn about one of the ocean's most amazing and bizarre underwater habitats.

In this activity, learners investigate the concepts of relative size and distance by creating a basic model of the solar system.

In this activity, learners work in teams to construct human lung models from small plastic beverage bottles and balloons.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this activity (last activity on the page), learners make a model of the eardrum (also called the "tympanic membrane") and see how sound travels through the air.

In this activity, learners get hands-on with geometry by making a polyhedron kitty sculpture.

In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.

In this activity, learners will create their very own constellation.

In this activity, learners make film canister rocket ships. A fin pattern is glued onto the outside of the canister, and fuel (water and half an antacid tablet) is mixed inside the canister.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this activity, learners engineer a paper helicopter that spins to the ground when dropped.

In this activity, learners will explore how light can refract or break apart into different colors.

Learners will construct a model of a heart valve using a film canister, a piece of masking tape, and a piece of paper.

In this activity, learners build a paper model of the spacecraft and photometer (telescope) used during NASA's Kepler Mission.

In this activity, learners will create unique rockets. Each rocket will be powered by air as the learner will blow into a straw and watch their rocket fly.

In this activity, learners will observe how air interacts with a paper helicopter. Learners will test different variables of weight, size, and shape.
