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 activity, learners use pop-beads to understand the characteristics and properties of polymer chains.

In this activity, learners eat a snack and make a model of the plumbing system of a volcano.

In this activity (pages 7-16), learners model various crystal structures with LEGOs. This activity also contains additional links that explain how to create other crystal structures.

In this space science activity, learners work together to create a human-powered orrery to model the movements of the four inner planets.

In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

In this activity, learners discover the difficulty of ocean exploration by human beings as they investigate water pressure.

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 (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS Wetlands Activity), learners will model how wetlands act as natural filters for the environment.

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

The goal of this activity is to build a miniature bobsled that is either the fastest or the slowest. Learners use recycled materials to design, build, and test their bobsled on a bobsled track.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

In this activity, learners use pegboard and straws to build a three-dimensional model of the periodic table.

In this activity, learners will build a stomp-powered launcher to blast off paper rockets they design. Materials can be found at a local hardware store or you may already have them at home.

In this activity, learners make balloon models of disease-causing bacteria.
