In this activity, learners perform an experiment that replicates the dilemma faced by birds in acquiring food from a confined area.

In this activity, learners explore phosphorescence and how certain materials can absorb and store energy from a light source.

In this activity, learners will design a protective package for an egg that will allow the egg to withstand a fall without cracking.

In this activity, learners discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

In this math lesson, learners analyze the density of liquids in order to explore linear functions.

In this math lesson, learners compare products to determine the best product.

In this math lesson, learners identify, describe, and construct the five regular polyhedra.

Learners recreate the classic egg-drop experiment with an analogy to the Mars rover landing. The concept of terminal velocity will be introduced, and learners perform several velocity calculations.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

In this activity, learners explore motion, energy, and electricity by constructing bottle cars that run on motors.

Learners can program a compass to draw a circle by itself using a Pico Cricket, some Legos, and lots of tape! Pico Cricket is required.

In this activity, learners interpret three trackways and use measurements and a formula to infer the relative speed of dinosaurs.

In this activity (located on page 7 of PDF), learners explore how Silly Putty was first invented and then attempt to make a batch of their own.

In this activity, learners build small indoor paper rockets, determine their flight stability, and launch them by blowing air through a drinking straw.

In this math lesson, learners explore transformations and quadratic functions through toothpick patterns.

In this activity, learners are introduced to tree rings by examining a cross section of a tree, also known as a “tree cookie.” They discover how tree age can be determined by studying the rings and ho

In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.

In this (edible) activity, learners balance chemical equations using different kinds and colors of candy that represent different atoms. Learners will work in pairs and explore conservation of atoms.

In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.
