This event guide features three related explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: how you design and build a structure helps determine how strong it will be; different

In this activity, learners use tinfoil to build and test their own boats - which designs will float, and which will sink?

In this activity, learners explore what makes a boat float and sink. They examine and test various objects to determine why objects float or sink.

In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

In this activity, learners plan and create a 24-foot long, two-dimensional model of our solar system, and compare and contrast the differences between planets and the sun.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete
