In this activity, challenge learners to make a pencil stand on its tip using only two pieces of wire and two clothespins. Use this activity to demonstrate the center of gravity.

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 physics activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will construct their own walkalong glider. They will explore how air, though invisible, surrounds and affects other objects.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate ant behavior by testing ant feeding reactions to different types of food.

In this hands-on activity, learners make New Year's Eve party hats out of wrapping paper. Learners use symmetry and measurement to cut out shapes they need to assemble the hats.

In this outdoor art/environmental activity, learners create designs that will attract attention to animals and plants in particular habitats, and then test whether their designs attracted the "right"

In this math activity, learners estimate how many pennies are in a jar by predicting and counting handfuls of pennies.

In this activity (on page 2), learners create a submarine using a plastic cup. This is a fun way to learn about buoyancy and density.

In this data analysis activity, learners quantify the abundance and distribution of sea scallops in and adjacent to the Mid-Atlantic closed areas.

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

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to invent a water filter that cleans dirty water.

In this activity, learners observe what would happen to their bodies if they went to outer space without a space suit.

In this activity, caregivers and young learners work together to craft and talk about shapes and relative positions of such shapes by creating a mobile.

In this activity, learners make a paper model of a polymer, then make Silly Putty, an actual polymer.

Perform this classic inertia demonstration to illustrate the transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy.

In this ocean engineering activity, learners explore buoyancy and water displacement. Then, learners design models of deep sea divers that are neutrally buoyant.

In this activity, learners will make seed orbs to grow new trees and plants. Learners will explore ecology and life cycles as well as stewardship through this activity.

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

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

Learn about friction and kinetic energy with this cool spinning toy.
