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 activity about camouflage, learners create a model that shows how a flounder is able to blend into a variety of environments.

Learners practice their taxonomy skills by sorting a group of fasteners (e.g. rubber bands, buttons, paper clips, screws) into different categories.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and build the tools they need to survive being shipwrecked on a deserted island.

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

In this artistic activity, learners blow up a smaller picture into a larger one, by using a grid.

In this activity, learners use maps to locate the Arctic region and use a word game to discover the types of resource people need to survive in the extreme climate.

In this activity about magnetism (page 11 of the pdf), learners will experiment with magnets to explore how opposite poles attract and similar poles repel in magnetism.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent a way to send a Ping-Pong ball flying high enough to catch it - like football with a twist!

In this activity, learners will trick out their bike with crafts and flair. Learners will explore symmetry, cause and effect and design through this activity.

In this activity, learners explore electricity and conductivity to find that many things conduct electricity including copper, pencil lead, fruit, play-doh, and even people!

In this activity, learners explore the great pump in their chests--the human heart!

In this activity, learners combine two substances (plaster of Paris and water) to make a cast of an object's imprint in clay.

In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners make an acid-base indicator using cabbage. Learners then explore how various subtances react with this indicator.

In this craft activity, learners will recognize, name, and compare the fractions 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 by constructing a penguin out of portions of paper circles.
