Learners build a yo-yo using a piece of wood, PVC pipe, and string. In doing so, learners explore the force of gravity and angular momentum.

In this math lesson, learners apply the Monte Carlo method of simulation to determine a reasonable estimate.

In this outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.

In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.

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

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 outdoor activity, learners release a portion of a lawn from human control—no mowing, no watering, no weeding, no pest control—and then investigate the changes that result over several weeks.

This activity is designed to introduce learners to genes, genotypes and simple inheritance patterns.

Learners investigate how the temperature of water affects its density.

In this activity, learners use simple tools to build a bookshelf with a built-in bookend.

Learners see that a can of regular cola sinks while a can of diet cola floats. As a demonstration, bubble wrap is taped to the can of regular cola to make it float.

This activity models the mass coral spawning event that takes place at Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary every August.

In this outdoor activity, learners turn the fun of feeding wild birds into an investigation of bird behavior.

In this outdoor, nighttime activity, learners gather around a brightly lit, white surface and study the behavior of nocturnal animals attracted to the light, particularly night fliers.

In this activity, learners cut, fold, and paste paper representing biomolecules to create a three-dimensional cell membrane with embedded proteins.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

In this activity about electricity, learners identify closed and open circuits. First, learners examine and label diagrams of open and closed circuits.

In this environmental health activity, learners grow and observe bread mold and other kinds of common fungi over the course of 3-7 days.
