Rocks are made of minerals, and minerals often have crystal shapes. In this fun activity about geometry in nature, learners create their own crystal shapes out of paper.

In this activity related to climate change, learners examine albedo and the ice albedo feedback effect as it relates to snow, ice, and the likely results of reduced snow and ice cover on global temper

In this activity, learners use information gathered from a variety of sources to design and make their own insect.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

In this activity, learners use recycled materials to build a bridge that holds as many potatoes as possible. They investigate weight, height, strength, and measurement as they seek design solutions.

Learners will build a homemade pump using a balloon, a mason jar, and some straws.

In this activity (page 89 of the PDF), learners compare and contrast pitch and roll motions by using a Magic Carpet maze similar to one that was used for Neurolab investigations about microgravity.

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.

In this math lesson, learners design an experiment to model a leaky faucet and determine the amount of water wasted due to the leak.

By building a model of a lung and diaphragm, learners discover the function of various parts of the body's respiratory system.

Using simple materials, learners will construct the end effector (grasping device) of a robotic arm and use the device to capture and pick up an object.

This activity is a hit for family events and all ages—some will finish in 45 minutes; others can go on for hours.
