In this activity about camouflage, learners create a model that shows how a flounder is able to blend into a variety of environments.

In this online game, learners test their skills of categorization.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners compare bacteria growth on two petri dishes containing nutrient agar: one that has been touched by a finger washed only with water and one that has been tou

In this math activity, learners create symmetrical designs for paper models of special blouses known as huipiles.

This three-part activity shows learners how to build three meteorology tools: a wind vane, a rain gauge, and a barometer.

Learners practice their taxonomy skills by sorting a group of fasteners (e.g. rubber bands, buttons, paper clips, screws) into different categories.

In this activity, learners use a soda can to decode a secret message. Learners wrap scytale (pronounced ski-tally) code around a can and challenge friends to see if they can crack the codes.

In this activity, learners construct a coastal landmass from sand and add features such as tidal creeks and barrier islands.

This is an online game recreating the longest ever (at that point in time) freefall jump by Air Force Captain Joe Kittinger.

In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.

In this activity, learners make a foam packing peanut "flink"--neither float away nor sink--in water. Learners experiment with materials to make a Flinker that "flinks" for 10 seconds.

In this math activity, learners play a game that helps reinforce learners' understanding of the coordinate system.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind the conveyor belt and consider the impact this invention has had on transportation and the coordinated shipping and delivery of goods.

In this optics activity, learners use everyday materials to make a color wheel. When learners spin the wheel like a top, they will be surprised to see all the colors mixing together to appear white.

In this quick activity, learners practice locating a constellation in a map of very dark skies.

In this physics activity, challenge learners to make a rubber band-powered spool racer. Demonstrate principles of motion as well as potential and kinetic energy.

In this activity, learners thread colored beads onto string. Each beach represent a process of the water cycle.

In this activity, learners build a mini dancing robot. This engineering activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, switches, conductivity, and motors.

In this activity, learners model atmospheric convection currents using food coloring, water, and clear cups. Activity includes step-by-step instructions, STEM connections, and more.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing a simple piano out of wood and craft sticks.
