Learners build a solar oven from a cardboard pizza box, aluminum foil and plastic. Learners can use their oven to cook S'mores or other food in the sun.

In this activity, Frankenstein's lab is running out of electricity! Learners use fruit to help Igor find a temporary source of energy to turn on a light.

In this design challenge activity, learners design and build a circuit: an "electric highway" that connects a battery and buzzer at least three feet apart using four types of materials.

Learners build a can that automatically returns after being rolled away. The can has a rubber band inside that stores energy as the can rolls one direction.

Experience a spinning spiral...you won't be hypnotized, but you'll see what happens when you look away. It's like getting off a merry-go-round and everything keeps moving.

Learners mix vinegar and baking soda together in a bottle to create a chemical reaction. The reaction produces a gas, carbon dioxide, which inflates a balloon attached to the mouth of the bottle.

In this activity, learners will experiment with density and chemical reactions to create a flurry activity.

In this robotics activity, learners find ways to express emotions and feelings using only body movements, not facial expressions.

In this optics activity, learners explore color by examining color dots through colored water and the light of a flashlight.

This is an activity about prediction. How far can you hop in 5 seconds? Could you make it to the door? Across the room? Everyone lines up and tries it.

In this activity (pages 3-4), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.

In this activity, learners eat a snack and make a model of the plumbing system of a volcano.

In this optics activity, learners explore how light bends and affects what we see.

In this activity, learners explore polymer structure and their ability to reform around objects by attempting to stab a wooden skewer through a balloon without popping it.

In this activity, learners explore the structure of plant leaves. Learners find out what happens when they coat either the top or bottom sides of leaves with petroleum jelly.

In this activity, learners experiment with the Stroop Effect by challenging themselves and others to try and read a list of colors as quickly and accurately as possible, with a twist.

In this activity, learners investigate feeding relationships. Learners complete a food web and then make a mobile to represent a food chain.

In this activity, learners make their own edible DNA double helix out of candy and find out about the shape of DNA.

In this design challenge, leaners attempt to build a strong structure out of LEGO® bricks that can withstand a 4-foot drop.

In this online game, learners practice memory recall. They are shown a collage of pictures for two minutes, then have to write down everything they remember and check how they did.
