In this activity about light and perception, learners create pictures in thin air.

In this optics activity, learners create a ripple tank from household materials to study waves. Learners build the tank and then explore by making various types of waves.

In this optics activity, learners experiment with polarizers (small dark rectangles) to examine light intensity.

Find out what it would be like to have ears shaped differently from your own! Design and make different animal ears then try them out.

In this invention challenge activity, learners see how many objects they can grab with a homemade "bionic" arm.

Learners complete a series of hands-on and investigative activities to explore cumulus clouds.

In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.
