This highly visual model demonstrates the atomic theory of matter which states that a gas is made up of tiny particles of atoms that are in constant motion, smashing into each other.

In this activity, learners explore the history of making objects from glass and artistry of Dale Chihuly.

In this activity, learners explore how a hydraulic pump works. Learners work in teams to design and build a unique water fountain that employs a hydraulic pump.

In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and build a miniature tree house in a potted plant. This activity uses engineering concepts to encourage creativity.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers develop pipeline systems to transport oil, water, gas, and other materials over very long distances.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this activity about the heart (on page 22 of the PDF), learners examine sheep or chicken hearts to learn about the heart's structure and the flow of blood through the heart.

In this outdoor activity, learners visit the intertidal zone of a rocky coastal site well populated with marine organisms.

In this two-part activity, learners will extract their own DNA from their cheek cells and learn how DNA is analyzed and used to solve crimes.

In this fun and delicious chemistry activity (page 1 of the PDF), learners will explore the difference between physical and chemical change by making homemade ice cream.

The goal of this Star Wars activity is to design and build a balancing device to help an Ewok escape the Imperial Forces by sliding down a tightrope to safety.

Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.

In this activity (page 7 of PDF), learners will identify the general two-dimensional geometric shape of the uppermost cross section of an impact crater.

In this math lesson, learners identify and compare unit costs of given items. Learners use computation skills, problem solving and number sense to find the cost of an ounce of cereal.

In this archaeology activity, learners make observations and conduct an experiment to demonstrate the effect saltwater has on artifacts.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners roundup a "herd" of hopping insects and find out how many different kinds or species are in their herd.

In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.

In this activity (located on page 6 of PDF), learners observe and reproduce the distinctive physical features (i.e. plates, sharp spikes, long necks, deep jaws, claws) of their favorite dinosaurs.
