Learners use shop tools and various materials to construct a magnetic spinner and a compass.

In this activity, learners discover that some things only stand up while they are spinning.

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT) is a cloning method that involves transferring a nucleus from a somatic cell of the individual to be cloned to an enucleated egg.

In this design challenge, learners will engineer a structure and see if it can survive an earthquake they create.

In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners create a traditional Mexican noisemaker (a matraca) using cardboard, craft sticks, and a wooden dowel.

In this activity, learners build a machine made of craft sticks to multiply the levering motion of their hands and create a device that bends and extends.

In this lesson, learners develop a robot arm using common materials. Learners explore design, construction, and teamwork, as well as materials selection and use.
