In this activity, learners build a carousel toy that spins when pushed down.

In this activity, learners make slides of onion cells and their own cheek cells. Use this lab to teach learners how to prepare microscope slides and use a microscope.

In this activity, learners explore the relationship between electric charges and magnetic fields.

This is an activity about the adaptations that allow the Aye-aye to survive in its habitat. Learners will explore how the Aye-aye collects food and how this is influenced by their specialized finger.

In this activity on page 10 of the PDF, learners detect the amount of energy that can flow through a sodium chloride electrolyte solution with a light sensor.

Learners build a solar oven from a cardboard pizza box, aluminum foil and plastic. Learners can use their oven to cook S'mores or other food in the sun.

In this activity, learners build helicopters and launchers using wooden dowels and scrap paper. Use this activity to explore rotational motion and kinetic and potential energy.

In this three-part activity, learners conduct simple experiments to see how light refracts and reflects, and how colors of light affect what we see.

In this activity, learners make an electromagnet motor to demonstrate the most basic method of changing electrical energy into mechanical energy.

In this health activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will explore a unique connection betweeen the bones of the body.

In this activity, learners build simple alarms that they can attach to anything, such as a drawer or doorway. This activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, and currents.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing their very own instruments using PVC pipes, soda bottles, and a straw.

In this activity, learners are challenged, using everyday objects, to create simple machines to complete specific tasks.

This activity uses a special paper that can create images with exposure to the Sun. Collect objects of different shapes and sizes and use them to make interesting patterns on your sun print.

In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to look over ledges or around corners.

This activity shows how our experience of the Sun changes with time and location. The sun dagger at Chaco Canyon is thought by many to be a sort of ancient timekeeping device.

In this activity, learners investigate the basic crystal structures that metal atoms form.

In this exploratory activity, learners experiment, observe and determine how various toys change from one form of energy to another.

In this activity, learners build their own sound machines and explore the interplay of motion and sound.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing tube zithers, stringed instruments from Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.
