In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF), learners make a "mini-globe" to investigate the causes of day and night on our planet.

In this activity, learners build models of atoms and molecules, then consider their role in different phases of matter, density, and mixtures and solutions.

In this activity, learners build an electric two-paddle boat using paint paddles, plastic knives, and empty water bottles.

In this activity, learners model the gravitational fields of planets on a flexible surface.

In this activity, learners make a scale model of an atom to see how big or how small an atom is compared to its nucleus. Learners will realize that most of matter is just empty space!

In this quick activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Lava Flow Activity), learners will model how large depressions near the top of a volcano are formed by using an inflating and deflating balloon submerg

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore model planets (that they or an educator will create), using methods NASA scientists use to explore our Solar System.

In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

In this activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a planktonic organism that will neither float like a cork nor sink like a stone.

In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

In this activity, learners build a speedboat using paint paddles, a propeller, and film canister. Learners attach a simple circuit and motor to the boat to power the propellers.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

In this design challenge, learners build a boat that paddles itself using a rubber band as its power source.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that’s at least 12 inches high with two or more parts that move (spin, sway, or flap) in the wind.

In this hands-on activity, learners will become familiar with the special adaptations of rainforest plants and discover the conditions needed for tropical trees to survive along with what can impinge

In this activity, learners build one or more edible coral polyps and place them together to form a colony.

In this activity (located on page 2), learners will construct tiny model geysers out of film canisters, warm water, and antacid seltzer tablets.

In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.
