Build a musical ice theremin by programming a micro controller, like a Pico Cricket to respond to resistance generated by the ice melting, or the ice being touched.

In this activity, learners discover the principles of edible glass by making a supersaturated sugar solution.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

In this activity, learners explore accuracy and precision.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers develop pipeline systems to transport oil, water, gas, and other materials over very long distances.

In this activity, learners explore how a hydraulic pump works. Learners work in teams to design and build a unique water fountain that employs a hydraulic pump.

In this activity, learners practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation while learning why ice formations on land (not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting.

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.

In this health, cooking, and math activity, learners explore nutrition and examine nutrition labels.

In this activity, learners design, build, test and redesign a display tower that will meet a specific set of criteria and constraints.

In this mechanical engineering activity, learners design shadow puppets with moving parts and use them to tell stories.

In this activity, you take regular dominoes, and turn them into conductive switches that can turn on a LEGO RCX block or Pico Cricket (micro controller). LEGO RCX block or Pico Cricket is required.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of hearing and plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners investigate the olfactory system by conducting several experiments.

This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection by encouraging them to formulate questions that can be answered through scientific investi
