In this activity, learners will build thier own balance scale. Learners will explore weight and comparison through this activity.

In this activity, leaners build their very own rainsticks, an instrument filled with pebbles and seeds that create sounds like falling rain. Save costs by using material found around the home.

Learners follow the template to build and fly a paper helicopter.

Learners build pan pipes out of drinking straws by cutting them to different lengths. Then, learners make music by blowing across the straws and playing some well-known songs.

In this activity, learners compete to be the first to win twenty counting pieces. First, learners draw patterns on only one side of four craft sticks.

In this activity, learners play a traditional Mexican game of chance with a twist. Learners take turns spinning a special "Toma Todo" top.

In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

In this math activity, learners play a card game to practice adding coins quickly, just like a banker. First, learners create coin cards. Next, the cards are dealt to each player.

In this activity (16th on the page), learners play a variation of the "I Spy" game to explore color. Learners work in teams with each team assigned a color.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity illustrates the value of supernovae in the universe.

In this math activity, learners experiment with the concept of symmetry.

In this math activity, learners earn "money" by completing simple tasks. Learners complete as many "jobs" as possible in a set amount of time.

In this math activity, learners play a game using their number sense to make the highest or lowest number possible. Use this activity to explore place value and/or decimals.

Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

In this activity, learners investigate balance and symmetry by designing a symmetrical butterfly, using a paper cutout.

If you have 3-foot dowels and rubber bands, you can can started on this fun and open design challenge. You can make structures big and small: make it so you can fit your parent into it!

Learn how to make and fly a paper helicopter! This simple activity includes a template (for the copter "blades") and instructions for folding, flying, and testing designs.

Experiment with liquids of different densities and create liquid layers. For example, oil and water have different densities: oil floats on water because it is less dense than water.

In this activity, learners will learn a bit about botany as the explore botanical names and common names of plants.

In this optics activity, learners build an animation tool to make mini movies. When you spin a phenakistascope, the pictures move so quickly that your eyes and brain can't separate the images.
