In this activity, learners discover what happens when they crush wintergreen-flavored candies in a very dark room.

In this activity, learners try to revive wilted celery. Learners discover that plants wilt when their cells lose water through evaporation. Use this activity to introduce capillary action.

Jugando a este juego, los chicos desarrollan habilidades en área, perímetro, múltiples, y factores. Tomen turnos para hacer rectángulos con 12 cuadrados en la cuadrícula.

With little more than a plastic bottle, some vinyl tubing, and a length of PVC pipe, make a rocket and a rocket launcher and investigate how rockets fly.

In this STEAM activity, learners create a "pixel tube" to explore reflections of light and color mixing.

In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).

This kinesthetic science demonstration introduces learners to four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

In this simulation game, learners play as predators equipped with genetically different “mouths” (utensils) and hunt for “prey” (assorted beans).

In this activity, participants will learn about how gigantic clouds of gas and dust in space, called nebulas, are formed. They'll create their own colorful model nebula using paint and a spinner.

In this activity, learners add different liquids to water and apply their working definition of “dissolving” to their observations.

This is an online exhibit about color perception. Learners set a random background color and then try to mix red, blue, and green light to match.

In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.

In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.

In this activity, learners use simple materials to simulate the effect of X-rays in a safe way. Learners place a piece of window screen over a box and a cardboard pattern on top of the screen.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of density-driven currents (thermohaline circulation) and how these currents are affected by climate change.

Lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies are a habitat for lots of living things, big and small.

In this activity, learners follow simple historical maritime recipes to cook up hardtack and swanky, and then compare the foods they eat to what was served on ships in the past.

In this activity, learners use the design thinking process to design and build their own aqueduct, or water bridge.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can participate to learn about conservation of gas. This is one of the classic experiments using baking soda and vinegar.

In this online activity, learners partner up to complete several physical exercises and assess their starting fitness level.
