In this activity, challenge learners to design a roller coaster ride for a marble using cardboard and other simple materials.

In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.

This lesson guide includes six simple and quick activities to help learners better understand Bernoulli's Principle.

In this hands-on activity, learners will become familiar with the special adaptations of rainforest plants and discover the conditions needed for tropical trees to survive along with what can impinge

In this activity, learners will use a compact disc to build an air puck that can glide across a smooth tabletop. The puck glides with almost no friction on a cushion of air escaping from a balloon.

In this activity, learners conduct the "Stroop Effect" test and explore what happens when they try to complete two simple tasks at the same time.

In this activity, learners build one or more edible coral polyps and place them together to form a colony.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing an instrument using some metal pipes, rubber bands, and a baseboard.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Kinetic Sculpture Challenge Activity), learners will predict which objects have to overcome the most static friction to slide down a ramp.

In this activity (located on page 2), learners will construct tiny model geysers out of film canisters, warm water, and antacid seltzer tablets.

In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

In this activity, learners experiment with gear motion to understand how gears work to change the amount of force, speed, or direction of motion in machines.

In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.

In this activity, challenge learners to keep an ice cube from completely melting in 30 minutes. Learners engineer a box or wrap to prevent an ice cube from melting.

Everybody loves messy science, and Flubber is a favorite of both COSI employees and guests!

Everybody loves bubbles, and this is the best bubble recipe ever!

In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.

In this activity (on pages 11-12 of PDF) learners create models of lava layers that have formed on the moon.

In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.

In this hands-on activity, learners build their own kaleidoscopes and explore how light can reflect of off surfaces such as mirrors, to produce beautiful patterns.
