In this activity, learners graph 48 hourly air temperatures from a local weather observation site and observe the diurnal temperature variations.

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

In this math lesson, learners play two different games to help them understand coordinates. First, learners read the book, "The Fly on the Ceiling," by Julie Glass.

In this activity, learners make bridges using an oil-based modeling clay (plasticene). The instructions include discussion questions for both before and after bridge building.

In this amazing activity about light and reflection, learners will use a pie plate and reflective strips from a mylar balloon to try to morph their face into a friend's.

This activity is intended to familiarize learners with native Houston birds, introduce learners to tools biologists use in the field, and to enhance their observation skills.

Learners mark their traits for tongue rolling, PTC tasting (a harmless, bitter chemical), and earlobe attachment on tree leaf cut-outs.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

In this math lesson, learners compare pattern blocks to visually understand halves, thirds, and sixths.

In this activity, learners will build a roller coaster for a marble to run on using everyday household materials such as paper towel or toilet paper rolls, cups, boxes, books, buckets, chairs, etc.

In this activity, learners design wind-powered cars out of simple household materials. Students have fun designing and then racing their vehicles around the room.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity), learners will study the adaptations different fish species have developed to survive in their habitats.

What's a more compelling problem to solve than being stranded on a deserted island?

In this chemistry activity, learners witness an exothermic reaction, while making their very own, completely usable sidewalk chalk. This is also an excellent activity for exploring color mixing.

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 self-measuring activity, learners measure and record the length of their foot.

Make a model city happier with LEDs, circuits, motors, and batteries! Groups can think, discuss, design, and build what would make a community happy. Kids can work as part of a team or on their own.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover that plants aren't just shoots (stem, branches, leaves, and flowers) growing above ground, but contain plenty of roots growing underground—more than half th

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.
