In this activity, learners build a carousel toy that spins when pushed down.

In this activity, learners predict where a ball will go after it bounces off another object. Learners discover that the motion of objects is predictable based on laws of motion.

In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

In this activity about ramps, learners explore and measure the rate at which spherical objects roll down a ramp.

Working in teams of four, learners build tetrahedral kites following specific instructions and using specific materials.

In this activity, learners experiment with creating various types of bubble solutions and testing which ingredients form longer-lasting bubbles.

In this math lesson, learners explore the concept of using units to measure length. Learners first read "How Big is a Foot" by Rolf Myller and learn about units.

Make a rattle-like musical instrument! Shake it, hit it, spin it any way you want to!

In this activity, learners explore phosphorescence and how certain materials can absorb and store energy from a light source.

In this activity, learners determine the shape of an unseen object by bouncing a ball off the object.

In this activity, learners explore motion, energy, and electricity by constructing bottle cars that run on motors.

In this activity (located on page 7 of PDF), learners explore how Silly Putty was first invented and then attempt to make a batch of their own.

In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Luge Activity), learners will construct a model hovercraft out of an empty spool and a piece of cardboard.

In this activity about dinosaurs, learners explore how and why fossils form. First, learners are introduced to dinosaur fossils by reading the book "Bones, Bones, Dinosaur Bones" by Byron Barton.

In this activity, learners build a toy that flies in circles. This activity introduces learners to center of mass, torque, and rotational motion.

This is a simple activity for learners to create a traditional musical instrument. Pan Pipes have developed all over the world in different cultures, from South America to Greece and China.

In this activity, learners build simple alarms that they can attach to anything, such as a drawer or doorway. This activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, and currents.

In this activity, learners build an old-fashioned paddle boat out of simple materials.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.
