In this activity, learners work with an adult to build a rocket and launcher out of a plastic 2-liter bottle, flexible plastic hose, plastic tubing, toilet paper tube, and duct tape.

In this colorful activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will make a multicolor density column by using different concentrations of sugar solutions.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore insulation. Leaners investigate how insulation can be used to slow down the conduction of heat from one side of a wall to the other.

In this Energy and Environment activity (page 9 of the PDF), learners calculate the mass of a piece of gum, compare it to the mass of the gum's packaging, and then create a bar graph of the results.

Learners observe a sealed test tube containing a small amount of solid stearic acid.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore what happens when a star explodes.

In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.

In this activity, learners conduct a series of hands-on experiments that demonstrate how the working of plants' veins, known as capillary action, enables water to travel throughout the length of a pla

In this activity, learners discover the difficulty of ocean exploration by human beings as they investigate water pressure.

In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, size, and bounce height.

Learners classify a variety of objects by their characteristics. They then design an experiment to determine which objects float or sink in water and add this characteristic to their classification.

In this activity, learners explore how product design differences can affect the success of a final product -- in this case a bag for holding candy.

In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

This is an activity exploring color and color mixing.

Everybody loves bubbles, and this is the best bubble recipe ever!

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Lava Flow Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into the relationship between an object’s mass and the distance it is thrown by a catapult.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and construct a trophy for prize-winning sports equipment.

In this four-part activity, learners explore how the body works and the chemistry that happens inside living things.

In this hands-on activity, learners will construct a scuba diver that can float in order to explore how sea creatures stay neutrally buoyant in the ocean and to see what kinds of forces might be influ

Learners play the role of materials engineers as they test the flexibility of different materials.
