Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How fast can a cheetah run? or How long can a giant tortoise live? Post these around the room or leave them out for children to explore.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a car that can travel at least four feet using rubber band power and use the design process to debug problems.

Straws and pipe cleaners are terrific materials for building models of pyramids and cubes.

In this sports-themed engineering activity, learners create super bouncy balls out of balloons. Learners brainstorm, test their designs, and share results.

In this activity, learners build a racecar using only a rubber band, spool, straw, and paper clip! This racer is a classic toy that zips across a flat surface.

This activity introduces learners to Native Americans as people who depended upon nature in the past and continue to emphasize the importance of nature in the present.

In this activity, "write" a secret message in genetic code as beads on a string.

In this activity, learners start their own field journal to better understand the wildlife in their area.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a car that uses a battery-operated motor to "drive" at least ten feet.

Experiment with force and pressure by building a balloon rocket. When launched, the balloon will run a track wherever you place the string.

This is an activity where learners will discover what types and how many insects live in their own backyard.

In this quick activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Lava Flow Activity), learners will model how large depressions near the top of a volcano are formed by using an inflating and deflating balloon submerg

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

In this activity, learners will test the strength of different brands of paper towels.

In this creativity-based activity, learners imagine what the Earth will look like in the near and distant future, then design their own future habitat and creatures that may live there.

In this activity, learners make a scale model of an atom to see how big or how small an atom is compared to its nucleus. Learners will realize that most of matter is just empty space!

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

In this physics activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will construct their own walkalong glider. They will explore how air, though invisible, surrounds and affects other objects.

On an airplane trip, learners have an opportunity to investigate the properties of air pressure at different altitudes.
