Series and Parallel Circuits
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners demonstrate and discuss simple circuits as well as the differences between parallel and serial circuit design and functions.
Reflecting on Diffraction
Source Institutions
With a laser pointer and some household items, learners can create their own laser light show. They can explore diffuse reflection, refraction and diffraction.
Amazing Air
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a small "air cannon," and use its airflow to put out a candle (lit with the help of an adult).
Let It Roll
Source Institutions

Crazy Camouflage
Source Institutions
In this activity about camouflage, learners create a model that shows how a flounder is able to blend into a variety of environments.
Rubberband Rockets
Source Institutions
This fun and simple activity is a rubberband rocket design challenge! Learners will explore how tail fins can help to stabilize a flying object, while also exploring potential and kinetic energy.
Crazy About Kites
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.
Flinker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a foam packing peanut "flink"--neither float away nor sink--in water. Learners experiment with materials to make a Flinker that "flinks" for 10 seconds.

In this optics activity, learners use everyday materials to make a color wheel. When learners spin the wheel like a top, they will be surprised to see all the colors mixing together to appear white.
Make a Water Cycle Wristband
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners thread colored beads onto string. Each beach represent a process of the water cycle.
Pop Fly
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners invent a way to send a Ping-Pong ball flying high enough to catch it - like football with a twist!
Modulated Coil: Hear the magnet!
Source Institutions
Do you have an extra portable cassette tape player hanging around?
Bike Bling
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will trick out their bike with crafts and flair. Learners will explore symmetry, cause and effect and design through this activity.
