In this environmental engineering activity, learners build windmills using everyday items. The first challenge is to build windmills that spin when placed in front of a fan.

This activity features two connected hands-on activities about dinosaur bones.

Learners experiment with a commercial photo-sensitive paper (Sunprint® or NaturePrint® paper). They place opaque and clear objects on the paper and expose it to bright light, observing the results.

In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

In this activity, learners will investigate static electricity as they create waterless snow globes.

This series of chemistry stations is designed to accompany the PBS documentary about African-American chemist "Percy Julian: Forgotten Genius." Each of the six stations features either a chemical or p

In this activity, learners will experience the different states of matter using crayons as the medium. Explore matter changing between phases while recycling old crayons.

In this activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will observe both a chemical and a physical change.

In this activity, learners discover how NASA engineers develop experimental aircraft.

In this tabletop activity (on pages 32-40), learners make Möbius strips -- 3D surfaces with only one side.

In this activity, learners observe tide pool animals in a touch tank to consider how they survive.

Learners complete a series of hands-on and investigative activities to explore cumulus clouds.

In this genetics activity, learners create imaginary creatures known as "Reebops" to explore the relationships between genes and inherited traits.

In this activity, learners observe live fish in tanks to consider how their body structures are related to their behaviors and habitats.

In this four-day lesson, learners identify three-dimensional forms in castle design, research different parts of the castle with a focus on their uses, and design and enlarge a banner for the great ha

This is a perfect summertime lunch activity! Pico Cricket is required (micro controller). First, get a bunch of cut up fruit, line them up, then plug a piece of fruit with a Pico Cricket sensor clip.

In this activity, learners work in NASA teams to build balloon-powered rockets using identical parts and compete to launch the greatest number of paper clips to "space" (the ceiling).

In this chemistry activity, learners fill two test tubes with a solution of "artificial stomach fluid," consisting of hydrochloric acid in the same concentration as in human stomachs, some soap to cre

This board game teaches learners about energy decision making. Players select cards that determine the transportation and home design that will influence their expenses as they play.

In this experiment related to plant biotechnology, learners discover how to prepare and load an electrophoresis gel.
