In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

Learners create their own piece of history by decorating, shattering, and piecing together a flowerpot "artifact".

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

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.

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 observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

In this activity, learners design and build a simple wind vane —one of the oldest kinds of weather tools— and use it to show wind direction.

Educator Amy O'Donnell from the American Museum of Natural History guides learners to create a diorama of a coral reef.
