In this activity, learners will measure the length of their shadow from the Sun and compare it three to four months later.

This activity shows you how to make amazing crystal spikes using Epsom salt and the sun.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

In this activity, learners use a simple trick of perspective to dress friends in tiny cutout clothing. Learners make tiny pants out of card stock and tape them to the end of a stick.

In this activity, learners build a simple "rocket" with ordinary household materials to demonstrate the basic principles behind rocketry and the principle of reaction.
