In this activity, learners experiment with gear motion to understand how gears work to change the amount of force, speed, or direction of motion in machines.

This magic trick is based on how computers detect and correct data errors.

Get a roll of pennies, throw them on the ground, then remove those that only show tails, and repeat with the ones left over.

In this interactive and informative group activity, learners use packages of M&M's to illustrate the difference between weather and climate.

Learners build pan pipes out of drinking straws by cutting them to different lengths. Then, learners make music by blowing across the straws and playing some well-known songs.

This is a deceptively simple game to teach strategy, planning, and pattern analysis. In this game, learners take turns removing tokens from a board, and develop a plan to take the last piece.

In this activity, learners will train to develop upper and lower body strength in their muscles and bones by performing body-weight squats and push-ups.
