In this activity (located on page 6 of the PDF), learners explore the ways people access water in their homes.

In this activity, learners make a scale model of the Solar System and learn the real definition of "space." Learners use the online calculator to create an appropriate scale to use as a basis for thei

In this creative activity, learners will find out what makes an insect an insect by studying examples of insect adaptations and by examining why there are so many different types of insects.

In this three/four-day lesson, learners calculate perimeters and areas and draw the castle plan to scale.

This activity is a hit for family events and all ages—some will finish in 45 minutes; others can go on for hours.

In this activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.

In this activity, learners make balloon models of disease-causing bacteria.

In this quick activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Lava Flow Activity), learners will model how large depressions near the top of a volcano are formed by using an inflating and deflating balloon submerg

Play with your food while learning about engineering! Build a spaghetti bridge, then test its strength by piling on the marshmallows, raw spaghetti, raw linguine and coins.

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

Build a catapult that transforms the potential energy of a twisted rubber band into kinetic energy. Experiment with design variations so that you can hit a target with a projectile.

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 activity, learners simulate nature's water filtration system by devising a system that will filter out both visible and invisible pollutants from water.

Working in small teams, learners try to build a satellite that can float for at least five seconds in the marked area of a vertical wind tube.

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, learners design, build and test a model suspension bridge for sturdiness and strength.

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 physics activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will construct their own walkalong glider. They will explore how air, though invisible, surrounds and affects other objects.

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.
