In this activity, groups of four learners must complete a set of four manual tasks. The restrictions are that they must complete the tasks in a limited time while wearing garden or rubber gloves.

In this activity, teams of learners study magnetic fields at four separate stations: examining magnetic fields generated by everyday items, mapping out a magnetic field using a compass, creating model

Build a musical ice theremin by programming a micro controller, like a Pico Cricket to respond to resistance generated by the ice melting, or the ice being touched.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design, build and test a birdhouse that will stay cool in the sun.

In this technology activity, learners light up the room with electrifying play dough creations. Learners use conductive and insulating homemade play dough to build simple circuits.

In this activity, learners construct a model of DNA to better understand the structure of DNA and protein synthesis.

In this activity, learners explore accuracy and precision.

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

In this technology activity, learners build simple circuits, design soft circuits using conductive thread, and then sew switch-activated circuits.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the manufacturing of canoes over time, including the development of new, durable, and lighter materials.

In this activity/demo, learners are introduced to the connection between medieval stained glass artisans and nanotechnology.

In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.

In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine how temperature will affect the height of a soda geyser.

The Drawing Board consists of a marking pen that remains stationary and a platform that swings beneath the pen, acting as a pendulum.

In this collaborative storytelling activity, learners and caregivers develop a strong story about science and exploration.

In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

"Nature of Dye" allows participants to create their own dyes and art while exploring how chemicals interact and how these interactions can have real-world applications.

In this demonstration, amaze learners by performing simple tricks using mirrors. These tricks take advantage of how a mirror can reflect your right side so it appears to be your left side.

In this life science activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore the carbon cycle by mixing yeast, sugar and water.
