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

In this life science activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore the carbon cycle by mixing yeast, sugar and water.

In this activity, learners create a tiny electric, motorized dancer. Learners use the interactions of magnetism and electric current to make a wire spin, while displaying the Lorentz Force in action.

In this engineering activity, learners design parachutes to give toy figures safe landings. This activity is great for practicing an important STEM skill--changing only one variable at a time.

In this activity, learners sublimate dry ice and then taste the carbon dioxide gas.

In this activity, learners use tsunami time travel maps to predict how long it will take a tsunami to reach the shore.

In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.

In this activity, learners investigate convection by using food coloring and water of different temperatures.

In this activity, learners cut wells in JELL-O© and load the wells with different detergent solutions.

In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners observe as two parallel, current-carrying wires exert forces on each other.

Create a painting by blowing air out of a straw. Push liquid acrylic paint around on some watercolor paper by aiming short bursts of air onto the paint puddle.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

This guide features three related ramp explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: when placed on a ramp, some objects roll, others slide, and others stay put; the shape

In this design challenge activity, learners use tubes of newspaper to make a table that’s at least eight inches tall and strong enough to hold a heavy book!

In this introductory activity, learners discover that sugar and food coloring dissolve in water but neither dissolves in oil.

In this activity, learners mix up a bubbly brew and examine density. Learners explore how they can make different materials fall and rise in water using oil, water, and salt.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to build a tower out of 10 sheets of newspaper and 3 feet of masking tape, which can hold a golf ball balancing at the top.

This activity (8th activity on the page) tests learners' ability to identify things using only the sense of hearing.

Learners build a small rocket using a matchstick and a piece of aluminum foil. A second, lit match launches the match rocket. This activity involves fire; adult supervision required.

This activity is designed to let learners measure their reaction time or response time to something they see.
