Constellation Chamber
Source Institutions
Learners build 3D representations of constellations, which show not just the position of the stars as seen from Earth but also their relative distance from Earth.

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

Food to Fuel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore the foods that are in their kitchen and what sugars are inside of them. Explore nutrition and food labels to better understand the foods you eat.

Gravity Launch
Source Institutions
In this online game, learners attempt to send a rocket ship to various targets. Learners can adjust the angle and thrust of the rocket before it is launched.

The Great Balloon Race
Source Institutions
In this online Flash game, learners take to the skies in a hot air balloon and are challenged to beat other balloonists' times to the finish line without crashing.

Inside Out
Source Institutions
Learners draw and cut out shapes of organs from construction paper. Then they attach these organs to the body of one learner to make a life-sized map of all the internal organs.

Make a DNA Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of DNA using paper and toothpicks. While constructing this model, learners will explore the composition and structure of DNA.

Styrofoam Traps
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use Styrofoam to collect organisms from a pond, estuary or marine environment and then examine what they have caught with a microscope.

Solving Playground Network Problems
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use cooperation and logical thinking to find solutions to network problems on the playground.

Conduction Countdown
Source Institutions
In this quick SciGirls activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design), learners will be introduced to the concept of thermal conductivity.

Anti-Gravity Chamber
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use magnets and household items to create a structure that allows paperclips to appear like they are floating.

Simple Machine Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged, using everyday objects, to create simple machines to complete specific tasks.

Sun Prints
Source Institutions
This activity uses a special paper that can create images with exposure to the Sun. Collect objects of different shapes and sizes and use them to make interesting patterns on your sun print.
Mystery Jars: Estimate Contents
Source Institutions
This activity puts a mathematical twist on the familiar “guessing jar.” No guesses allowed, estimates only.

Color Contrast
Source Institutions
Do you have a hard time matching paint swatches with your furniture? When you consider human perception, color is context dependent.

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

Passion for Pixels
Source Institutions
In this technology activity, learners explore digital imaging and pixels. Learners "transmit" an image to a partner by creating an image on grid paper.

Egg Bungee
Source Institutions
Learners attach an egg to a rubber-band bungee cord and drop the egg.

¡Paracaídas!
Source Institutions
En esta actividad, los participantes explorarán las fuerzas de gravedad y la resistencia al aire usando paracaídas.

Raceways
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a model roller coaster to help the Mummy entertain the Atom's Family monsters. Learners assemble the roller coaster between two chairs using vinyl ceiling molding.
