In this activity related to climate change, learners examine albedo and the ice albedo feedback effect as it relates to snow, ice, and the likely results of reduced snow and ice cover on global temper

In this activity, learners use information gathered from a variety of sources to design and make their own insect.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

Using paper, paper clips, an index card, and tape, teams of learners design flying devices to (1) stay in the air as long as possible and (2) land as close as possible to a given target.

In this activity, learners use recycled materials to build a bridge that holds as many potatoes as possible. They investigate weight, height, strength, and measurement as they seek design solutions.

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.

In this math lesson, learners design an experiment to model a leaky faucet and determine the amount of water wasted due to the leak.

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.

This activity is a hit for family events and all ages—some will finish in 45 minutes; others can go on for hours.
