In this activity, learners create a tiny electric, motorized dancer. Learners use the interactions of magnetism and electric current to make a wire spin, while displaying the Lorentz Force in action.

In this engineering activity, learners design parachutes to give toy figures safe landings. This activity is great for practicing an important STEM skill--changing only one variable at a time.

In this outdoor game, learners role play populations linked in a food chain.

In this activity, learners explore how the shapes, sizes, and distances of land masses appear differently on two different models of Earth: an icosahedron and a flat map.

In this activity, learners will turn an ordinary tray of sand into a desk-top garden for meditation.

In this design challenge activity, learners use tubes of newspaper to make a table that’s at least eight inches tall and strong enough to hold a heavy book!

In this activity, learners make a Benham Top to explore visual illusions and optics.

In this hands-on activity, learners track and record the passage of colored "pompom traits" through three generations of gingerbread people.

In this activity, learners are challenged to track and record the passage of colored pom poms (representing genes) through generations of a family using a pedigree.

In this activity about encryption, learners cut out a secret decoder badge from a handout and use it to encode messages to each other.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a car that can travel at least four feet using rubber band power and use the design process to debug problems.

In this activity, learners will discover how to make butter from scratch. One optional tips includes adding marbles to speed up the process.

In this activity, learners explore the process of condensation.

In this activity, learners use a compact disc to make a spectrometer, an instrument used to measure properties of light.

Learners add different liquids (water, salt water, alcohol, and detergent solution) to water and observe the different ways the different liquids combine with water.

In this activity, learners construct three quick and simple mechanisms to start building a pop-up book. Learners fold, cut, and glue paper to make a bird beak, parallelogram, and V-fold.

In this health activity (on page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about the body‘s defenses against invasion from tiny particles.

In this activity, learners investigate the concepts of relative size and distance by creating a basic model of the solar system.

In this chemistry activity, learners will separate a mixture of FD&C dyes (colors certified and allowed by the US for the Food, Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics & Personal Care industry) to practice

In this activity, learners build a bird feeder or feeders to attract birds for observation.
