In this activity, learners build a game that tests their steadiness. Learners construct the game board by setting up an electrical circuit and a wand.

This activity lets you program your 'robot' (a willing friend) to pick up and dispose of some 'toxic waste' using as few commands as possible.

This activity explores the main algorithms that are used as the basis for searching on computers, using different variations on the game of battleships.

In this game, learners experience how computers divide a big problem into many smaller ones and how they use binary "yes"/"no" questions.

In this activity, learners construct a simple game to test their hand-eye coordination and steadiness of hand.

This activity introduces the idea that computer scientists measure information by how "surprising" a message is.

In this hands-on engineering project, kids use two simple machines, levers and inclined planes, to construct their own pinball machines.

In this online Flash game, learners will explore a coral reef using an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

In this activity, learners will design a protective package for an egg that will allow the egg to withstand a fall without cracking.

In this quick activity about size and scale (on page 2 of the PDF under What's Nano?

Space Guess Quest is a fun game that encourages participants to identify the many types of objects in space, from human-made spacecraft to nebulas, galaxies, stars, and worlds.

In this on site "field trip" activity (located on pages 6-9 of PDF), learners get hands-on experience identifying building materials by playing "Building Bingo".

This is a web activity about simple machines. Learners will explore a lawn mower and identify six different simple machines which work together to help make our lives easier.

In this tabletop board game, players will represent a team of scientists and engineers sending a spacecraft on a mission to space.

In this online simulation, learners use antibiotics to cure patients with bacterial infections.

In this activity, learners explore the properties of metals at four stations. The stations include A) Magnetism and Breakfast Cereal; B) Conductivity of Metals; C) Alloys; and D) Metal Plating.

In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores the relative sizes of various objects. Learners compete to organize their hand of cards into lists of objects from largest to smallest.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.

This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.
