In this activity, learners make balloon models of disease-causing bacteria.

In this outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

In this activity, learners build a 1:140 "scale model" of NASA's X-33 Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) Technology Demonstrator, and investigate how the model dimensions compare to the real vehicle.

In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.

By making models of light waves with paper, learners can understand why different colors appear in bubbles.

This paper describes a working-model demonstration of Ernest Rutherford's 1911 experiment about the nature of atoms.

In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.
