In this outdoor activity, learners discover the wonders of the habitat surrounding them.

In this invention challenge activity, learners see how many objects they can grab with a homemade "bionic" arm.

In this activity, learners use measurement concepts to make models of what their body parts might look like if they were a snake or a chameleon.

In this activity, learners build inexpensive kaleidoscopes using transparency paper and foil (instead of mirrors).

In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.

Did you know that some breakfast cereals are fortified with ferric phosphate, while others contain tiny pieces of reduced iron?

In this activity, learners build a figure that moves and "comes to life" when they pull its string.

When was the last time you took a really close look at a leaf? In this activity, learners will use leaves and simple materials to make colorful leaf rubbings.

In this activity, learners make homemade journals featuring seashell rubbings. First, learners transfer the texture of a seashell onto a piece of paper using a crayon.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

In this activity related to computer programming, learners give directions to a "robot" (either an adult or another learner) and find out which instructions the robot is able to follow, and how their

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing an instrument toy that buzzes when you swing it.

Many germs spread by our hands, and often times, people don't wash their hands well enough to get rid of germs.

Learners construct a bird feeder from re-used materials. After hanging their feeder, they keep a journal about what birds visit the feeder.
