In this activity, learners use design thinking to design and build their own bridge out of household materials including adhesives and/or connectors.

In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.

In this design challenge, learners design a storm drain cover that catches litter to protect waterways to learn about how local actions can have system-level effects.

In this activity, learners repeat patterns in two and three dimensions to create tessellations. This activity combines the creativity of an art project with the challenge of solving a puzzle.

In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).

In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.

In this activity, learners use the design thinking process to design and build their own aqueduct, or water bridge.

In this activity, learners manipulate film to create homemade movies. Scratch Film, also known as Direct Animation, is the process of drawing and scratching designs directly onto film.

Learners discover that their breath contains carbon dioxide, one of the pollutants found in car exhaust.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

This is an activity in which learners explore the effects of gravity, motion and momentum while creating art.

In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will explore how energy from moving water can be used.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF, explore the unique molecular structure and conductive nature of graphene. Learners construct a circuit with a battery and LED bulb.

In this activity, learners use simple tools to build a bookshelf with a built-in bookend.

In this activity, learners can play two card games related to endangered species, specifically North American amphibians.

In this activity about bones (page 12 of PDF), learners investigate and compare the weight-bearing capacity of solid and hollow cylinders.

In this nutrition activity (page 16 of PDF), learners document their individual eating habits and learn whether their eating patterns meet their needs.

In this math lesson, learners apply measurement skills to determine, in dollar bills, the capacity of a suitcase.

Learners follow directions to construct a water-powered electrical generator using a turbine made from plastic spoons.

In this activity related to microbes, learners use water drops and hand lenses to begin the exploration of magnification. This activity also introduces learners to the microscope.
