In this activity, you'll use a paper cup, a piece of cloth, and some string to make a musical instrument called a cuica (pronounced KWEE-kah).

In this geography investigation, learners use a nighttime satellite image to observe areas of light across the United States and to identify patterns and spatial distributions of human settlements.

In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete

In this activity, learners find Xi'an, the archaeological area in China where the Terra Cotta Army was discovered, on a map or globe and look more closely at the relationship of the warrior site to ot

In this dynamic activity, learners build a catapult that launches projectiles, such as marshmallows.

In this math activity, learners practice comparing fractions.

During this activity, learners take part in a variety of tasks which involve moving and balancing different body parts.

This activity is an investigation of static electricity. What happens when you get "static cling?" Basically, you pile up electrons on one thing, which attracts the protons in something else.

In this quick and easy activity, learners build an air cannon "drum" and see what happens when they "shoot" puffs of air at different targets.

This experiment describes how to create a "dribble bottle" which only leaks water when the cap is unscrewed. The full water bottle has a small hole made with a push pin.

“Exploring the Solar System: Ice Orbs” is a hands-on activity in which visitors investigate a frozen orb, trying to learn about objects hidden inside.

This is an activity about center of gravity. Learners will balance a fork on a glass by finding its center of gravity.

In this group activity, learners make multi-sided polygons with string.

In this activity, learners will examine various world data maps to combine the information and predict which areas could be tropical rainforests.

In this hands-on activity, learners explore static electricity through the use of common household products. They also explore the connection between static electricity and cold weather.

In this activity, learners make a parachute out of tissue paper, tape, and string. Then, learners test their parachute to see how many paper clips it can carry.

In this activity (located on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Baby Dinosaurs Activity), learners will look for a relationship between skull size and body length among various dinosaurs.

In this game, learners strategize to win the most cards by building number equations. Learners practice operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) to construct their equations.

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Sea Turtles Activity), learners will model how a sea turtle population changes over time, from eggs to adults, using puffed rice.

In this math game (Page 9 of the Are You Game? PDF), learners determine what makes a spinner fair or unfair. Learners first play a round with a pre-made spinner that isn't very fair.
