In this activity, learners measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a carbonated drink.

In this environmental activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners identify household products that are recyclable and explore the different types of recyclable plastics.

This is a quick, yet dramatic activity/demonstration that introduces learners to the concept of energy transfer. A small ball is placed on top of a large ball and both are dropped together.

In this Cyberchase activity, learners use math to explore how parts of the body are proportional.

In this activity, learners build small animated toys that move.

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an octopus-inspired suction pad that can grab an object and hold it tightly in the air.

In this engineering activity, learners examine bicycle mechanics and gear ratios. Learners determine which gears will help them bike a set course in the shortest amount of time.

Using yeast, sugar, and water, learners create a chemical reaction which produces carbon dioxide (CO2) gas inside a 2-liter bottle. They use this gas to inflate a balloon.

In this demonstration, learners observe how liquid nitrogen both boils and freezes ingredients to make ice cream in two minutes.

In this activity, learners build a figure that moves and "comes to life" when they pull its string.

Este Web site contiene links a 12 calendarios (12 meses). Cada mes contiene actividades sobre matemáticas.

Build your own version of the classic physics toy using simple materials.

In this activity, learners explore electronic communication, the Morse Code system, and advances all the way through text messaging. Learners build a simple circuit, send messages to one another.

This quick demonstration (on page 11 of PDF) allows learners to understand why scientists think water ice could remain frozen in always-dark craters at the poles of the Moon.

In this activity, learners explore the function and engineering of dams and how dams have many uses and solve many problems in the world.

In this activity, learners explore engineering package designs that meet the needs of safely shipping a product.

Learners investigate one factor affecting reaction rates: temperature. In a darkened room, two identical lightsticks are placed in water -- one in hot water and one in cold water.

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an air-powered spinning machine.

In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.

Learners build a lever and use it to lift a load. With the load on one end of the ruler, learners add coins to the effort cup at the other end until the load is lifted.
