In this physical activity, two lines of learners link hands and arms to model a beam subject to various loading schemes.

In this activity, children and adults work together to explore their relationship with technology and examine ways to make sustainable media consumption choices.

In this activity, learners play an evolution card game to see how selective pressures can affect an organism's evolution.

In this activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.

In this activity (on pages 2-8), learners experience how scientists use classification in their study of animals.

In this activity, learners compare the ways of life of Plains Native Americans who hunted and moved frequently to follow the buffalo herds, and Native Americans who farmed and lived in more permanent

In this activity about water's cohesive and adhesive properties and why water molecules are attracted to each other, learners test if objects repel or absorb water.

In this space science activity, learners work together to create a human-powered orrery to model the movements of the four inner planets.

In this activity (posted on March 27, 2011), learners follow the steps to construct a mini zoetrope, a device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures.

In this activity, learners investigate how plants use water. By making the flowers change color, learners see how water moves up the stem to the leaves and the flowers.

In this activity, learners create a sealed, mini ecosystem that supplies freshwater shrimp with food, oxygen, and waste processing for at least three months.

In this activity (on pages 12-15), learners make a crater model and test the effects of weather (rain) on its surface.

Learners create their own piece of history by decorating, shattering, and piecing together a flowerpot "artifact".

In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.

In this activity related to computer programming, learners give directions to a "robot" (either an adult or another learner) and find out which instructions the robot is able to follow, and how their

Visitors observe a bottle with a balloon attached around the mouth. The bottle contains a solution of yeast, sugar, and water.

In this activity (on page 4), learners create a submarine using a plastic sandwich bag. This is a fun way to learn about buoyancy and how captured gas can cause objects to float.

In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.

In this activity, learners explore how pneumatics and hydraulics could be used to produce movement in a robotic arm.

¡Este juego de estrategia tiene reglas sencillas pero puede ser un reto! Los jugadores empiezan con una red de hexágonos vacía. En su turno cada jugador pone su inicial en un hexágono vacío.
