In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

In this three-part activity, learners explore how waves are formed and why some waves are bigger than others. First, learners observe waves of water in a pan generated by an electric fan.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this activity, learners use aluminum trays and wooden blocks to form stream tables to investigate river formations in two different landscape scenarios.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

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

In this ecology activity, learners make a model water-based ecosystem called a terraqua column. The column (in a large soda bottle) includes pond water, duckweed, sand or gravel, and small snails.

In this multi-step experiment (page 4 of pdf), learners study tide pools, and then drop a "wave" (a 4-pound bag of beans or birdseed) on a shell to mimic the force of crashing surf on tide pool animal

Using simple materials, learners will construct the end effector (grasping device) of a robotic arm and use the device to capture and pick up an object.

In this activity, learners take on the role of various parts of the cell in order to model the process of protein synthesis.

In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

In this quick activity about pollutants and groundwater (page 2 of PDF under Water Clean-up Activity), learners build a model well with a toilet paper tube.
