In this activity, learners build a carousel toy that spins when pushed down.

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 two part activity, learners become draft detectives by constructing their own draft catchers to detect drafts around windows or doors.

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

In this art meets science activity, learners pack silver, ball-shaped ornaments in a single layer in a box to create an array of spherical reflectors.

In this activity related to nanotechnology, learners observe some of the effects that result from creating a thin layer of material several nanometers thick.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

In this activity, learners will experiment with water- and air-filled balloons as a way of dampening sound before it reaches their ears.

This activity guide features three related explorations to help learners ages 3-6 investigate shadows via the following science concepts: A shadow is made when an object blocks the light; you can chan
