Learners explore three-dimensional geometric frames including cubes and tetrahedrons, as they create bubble wands with pipe cleaners and drinking straws.

In this design challenge, learners will create wind-powered contraptions to transport a load, such as a cupcake or another small object, and test to see if they work.

In this chemistry activity, learners use thin layer chromatography to determine the molecular composition of different markers.

In this activity, learners construct a simple game to test their hand-eye coordination and steadiness of hand.

In this hands-on engineering project, kids use two simple machines, levers and inclined planes, to construct their own pinball machines.

In this activity, learners make cool boxes out of old (or new) greeting cards or postcards.

In this activity, learners explore light and shadows by creating a lantern they can keep on their nightstand.

In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.

In this activity, learners construct three optical illusion toys to examine how our brains play tricks on what we see.

Using a milk-based recipe, learners create "moo glue" which is basically white school-type glue. The "secret ingredient" in milk that helps make glue is a chemical called casein.

In this activity, learners will use a variety of household and/or natural objects to design a sculpture that balances from a single point.

In this activity, learners of all ages will roll a ball coated with paint to artistically visualize the motion of the object.

In this twist on a classic design challenge, learners will try to stop a bouncy ball from bouncing as they explore how to control the fall of an object.

In this activity, learners create a cool floating animal using the science of magnetism. Learners discover what happens when a piece of magnetic metal enters a magnet's field.

Learners assemble a hot-air balloon from tissue paper. The heated air (from a heat gun) inside the balloon is less dense than the surrounding air and causes the balloon to float.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF, learners dissolve Epsom salt in water and discover that the resulting solution can be used to create a work of art.

In this activity, learners explore physics by building a catapult that launches marshmallows with household objects.

Heat makes some materials expand, and it makes others shrink.
