Learners investigate the concept of humidity by using a dry and wet sponge as a model. They determine a model for 100% humidity, a sponge saturated with water.

This is a simple activity fully driven by imagination. Using materials from the home, toys, or items from nature, learners create their own world to play with.

This is an activity that models the operation of a seismograph, a tool used to measure the size of earthquakes.

Discover the wind's direction using bubbles, a map and a keen eye. Learners blow bubbles and note their general direction on a map, taking readings from different points around a building.

In this activity, learners conduct a simulation exercise related to public key encryption and try to intercept a message sent between two learners.

In this activity, learners use a pneumatic trough (see related activity) to generate and collect pure oxygen.

This activity explores the main algorithms that are used as the basis for searching on computers, using different variations on the game of battleships.

In this activity, learners investigate how different materials repel or absorb water. Learners use spray bottles to explore how everyday items like sponges, cardboard, feathers, etc.

Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

In this design challenge, learners will practice empathy and design thinking skills by creating a play space that is fun, both for themselves and other kids.

In this activity, learners investigate and compare the rate of drying in different conditions.

In this experiment, learners separate different types of molecules in marker inks (using a technique called "thin layer chromatography").

In this math activity (Page 12 of the Play Ball! PDF), learners play a game of "soccer" and analyze the results of the game.

In this activity, learners construct a simple game to test their hand-eye coordination and steadiness of hand.

In this activity, learners build a "pneumatic trough," a laboratory apparatus used for collecting pure gas samples over water.

In this introductory demonstration and activity, learners are introduced to the concept of density as they explore a rock and a wooden block in water.

This activity introduces the idea that computer scientists measure information by how "surprising" a message is.

In this chemistry activity (page 1 of PDF SciGirls Activity: Milk Carton Boat), learners will create a blob of stretchable funny putty out of a water, borax, and glue mixture.

In this activity, learners listen to a story and tell a story of their own as they learn about the importance of elders in Native American cultures.

In this design challenge activity, learners use a balloon and other simple materials to design an air-powered rocket that can hit a distant target.
