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 will become an engineer by designing and engineering a miniature parachute.

In this art activity (page seven of the pdf), learners will use their creativity to make a "motion collage." Each student will be encouraged to draw a picture of something that moves to be a part of t

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.

In this activity, learners explore how casts of fossilized bones are created and used to learn about dinosaurs. Learners make observations, draw diagrams and share their findings.

In this activity on page 2 of the PDF, learners discover how color changes can help scientists distinguish between acids and bases.

In this great hands-on activity, learners use patterns to make a teepee from newspaper that they sit inside.

In this activity, learners will build a model of a nebula using cotton balls and colored water. Astronomers photograph nebulas and add colors to provide information about the nebula's composition.

Align four color transparencies, each one a single color (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black), and see a beautiful full color image.

In this activity, "write" a secret message in genetic code as beads on a string.

In this activity, learners make their own bug boxes and test the habitat preference of selected "minibeasts" (bugs).

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners discover how science and Halloween are fun companions as they make paper bleed.

In this activity, learners explore how the area of Arctic sea ice has changed over recent years. First, learners graph the area of Arctic sea ice over time from 1979 to 2007.

In this fun activity about spiders, learners build and design a spider from cardstock, straw, string, and pipe cleaners.

Make a kite out of a garbage bag, shower curtain, painting tarp--anything light, thin, flexible and plastic!

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

This activity has three story puzzles learners can solve to learn about life in the Arctic.

In this activity, learners will construct a device to blow bubbles. By adding corn syrup to the bubble solution, we can increase the surface tension of the bubbles--and their size.

In this activity, learners explore different types of fossils by making their out of dough and objects from around the house.

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