In this math lesson, learners compare pattern blocks to visually understand halves, thirds, and sixths.

In this activity, learners will build a roller coaster for a marble to run on using everyday household materials such as paper towel or toilet paper rolls, cups, boxes, books, buckets, chairs, etc.

In this activity, learners design wind-powered cars out of simple household materials. Students have fun designing and then racing their vehicles around the room.

In this activity, learners construct wands that play different notes depending on information from light sensors programmed via a PICO Cricket.

This activity is intended to familiarize learners with native Houston birds, introduce learners to tools biologists use in the field, and to enhance their observation skills.

Learners mark their traits for tongue rolling, PTC tasting (a harmless, bitter chemical), and earlobe attachment on tree leaf cut-outs.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a boat that can hold 25 pennies (or 15 one inch metal washers) for at least ten seconds before sinking.

In this activity, learners will repurpose an old t-shirt to create their own yarn or string.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that can support a tennis ball at least 18 inches off the ground while withstanding the wind from a fan.

In this activity, learners discover that training a robot can be hard work! Learners investigate how robots complete a task by following a list of sequential instructions.

This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” when they land.

In this simulation, learners act out each digestive function of the organs, tissues, and cells in the digestive tract.

In this self-measuring activity, learners observe and record how many times a minute they blink, take a breath, and chew, as well as how many times a minute their heart beats.

In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.

Learners observe a flask with a balloon attached over the mouth and inverted inside the flask.

These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How many colors can you name in a minute? or How many seconds can you balance on one foot?

In this activity, learners create air cannons out of everyday materials. Learners use their air cannons to investigate air as a force and air pressure.

In this activity, learners gain knowledge about how carbon moves through all four of the Earth’s major spheres (biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere), and understand how humans influenc

In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners explore what it means to work together as a team.
