In this activity about the circulatory system and space travel (on page 38 of the PDF), learners use water balloons to simulate the effects of gravity and microgravity on fluid distribution in the bod

In this activity, learners build rockets and shoot them into the air by stomping on the plastic bottle launchers.

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

This is an activity in which learners explore the effects of gravity, motion and momentum while creating art.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has developed various means to remove impurities from water.

In this plant science activity, learners conduct four experiments to observe how plants respond to sunlight and gravity.

In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.

After a discussion about what a parachute is and how it works, learners create parachutes using different materials that they think will work best.

The Butterflies in Space Teacher's Guide uses "life in space" to encourage learners to conduct their own open-ended scientific investigations.

In this activity about heart health (on page 34 of the PDF), learners measure their own blood pressure using an electronic blood pressure monitor with a self-inflating cuff (included in cost of materi

Over the course of several days, learners explore the property of water that helps plants move water from roots to leaves or gives paper towels the capacity to soak up water.

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

In this activity, learners explore the history of making objects from glass and artistry of Dale Chihuly.

In this engineering activity, learners design parachutes to give toy figures safe landings. This activity is great for practicing an important STEM skill--changing only one variable at a time.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity), learners will see the effects of convection and understand what makes hot air balloons rise.

In this exploratory activity, learners experiment, observe and determine how various toys change from one form of energy to another.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work to solve the challenges of a society, such as delivering safe drinking water.

Build your own Mini Mini Golf Course and learn about hands-on building and design, basic circuitry, motion modules and more!

In this activity, learners review the history of gumball machines and explore potential and kinetic energy, while working in teams to build a gumball slide.

Learners drop two different masses of play dough and observe how long it takes them to hit the ground.
