Put a string around your head, and play it! Learn about vibration, sounds, and pitch.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.

In this activity about potential and kinetic energy, learners get to roll a can across the floor and then watch it roll back to them as if by magic. This activity is always great for looks of wonder!

Build a phonograph record player using a cactus needle, a record, LEGOs gear box, and a piece of paper! This activity uses a Pico Cricket to turn the motor.

In this experiment, learners will conduct chemical and physical tests to identify mystery substances.

Investigate the interaction of liquids of different densities and experiment with wave patterns with this hands-on activity.

In this activity learners will explore how water moves on waxed paper. Learners will use science process skills such as using tools and making observations as they explore surface tension.

If you have lights, cardboard, scissors, and some brass fasteners, you can make shadow puppets! Create a story-telling and design challenge for your learners with this simple and creative activity.

This is a great activity for investigating the basics of lift and drag as they pertain to flight. Learners will discover how to avoid "taking a nosedive" by building their own paper airplane.

In this activity, learners identify different plastics in a mystery bag. Learners discover that plastics are classified #1 through #7.
