This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

In this activity, learners use simple, everyday materials to experiment with balls and ramps.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this activity, learners will explore light with reflective surfaces. Learners will make predictions and share their observations as they experiment with directing a beam of light.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

In this activity, learners create a kind of balance device using a wire coat hanger, some string, and paper cups.

This is an activity about music, movement, and math. Learners will start a rhythm pattern with 2, 3, or 4 beats. For instance, tap your foot, jump, clap, repeat.

In this activity, learners track their movements with jumping and leaping graphs.

This lesson (on pages 15-24 of PDF) explores how sound is caused by vibrating objects. It explains that we hear by feeling vibrations passing through the air.

In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate air has weight by comparing an inflated balloon to a deflated one.

This fun hands-on astronomy activity uses a variety of simple props to help learners understand why they see what they see in a telescope.

In this activity (17th on the page), learners investigate why you cannot see colors in dim light.

In this matching activity (3rd activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to match pairs of opaque containers filled with various smelly items like orange peel, roses, or moth balls.

Build a fruit fly trap out of a 2-liter plastic bottle and some rotten fruit! Fruit flies are easy to catch in warm weather. Once you catch some, you will be able to see their life cycle up-close.

Choose a recipe to double (or triple, quadruple, or halve). Show everyone the recipe and engage them in figuring out: How much will we need to increase the recipe to feed everyone?

In this activity, learners will explore saturated solutions and discover how crystals form.

In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.

This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

Why should we wear masks? Do masks work? Do some masks work better than others? Learners find out in this activity.

In this chemistry challenge, learners combine acids and bases in a universal indicator to create five different colors.
