In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

In this math lesson, learners explore linear patterns, write a pattern in symbolic form, and solve linear equations using algebra tiles, symbolic manipulation, and a graphing calculator.

In this activity related to Newton's Laws of Motion, learners build a boat powered by a propeller in the air.

In this inquiry-based learning activity, learners design, build, and test their own ramps. They are introduced to a variety of materials and explore putting them together.

In this math lesson, learners practice measurement skills as they examine a soap bubble print. Learners follow a recipe to make a soap bubble solution.

In this activity, learners will exercise their imaginations and artistic skills. Appropriate for all ages, learners will create unique pieces to jumpstart storytelling sessions.

In this activity, learners string a line across the room and build cable cars that can move from on end to the other.

In this activity, learners build unique yo-yos, which spin round and round without moving up and down.

In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.

Learners investigate weight by building a spring scale. They observe and record how it responds to objects with different masses.

This lesson focuses on molecular motion in gases. Learners compare the mass of a basketball when it is deflated and after it has been inflated.

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 build their own sound machines and explore the interplay of motion and sound.

In this math lesson, learners measure, predict and determine the frequency of an event as it relates to how close Whirlybirds land to a target.

In this activity, learners build magnetic towers to explore the forces and properties of magnets.

In this lab, learners experience how dolphins and other echolocating animals use their senses to locate and identify objects without using their sense of sight.

In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.

In this activity, learners design a device to solve a problem: how to get a ball out of a drain pipe.

In this activity, learners use bubbles to investigate the structure and unique properties of cell membranes. Bubbles serve as macroscopic models that mimic the cells' phospholipid bilayers.
