Learners will do an experiment to determine which type of paper is strongest while focusing on variables and collecting data.

These puzzles use four colors of socks in a drawer to get learners thinking algebraically.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers use scales and measures when designing a manufacturing process to ensure that final products are uniform in weight or count.

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

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

In this fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity, learners construct a model of our place in the Milky Way Galaxy and the distribution of stars, with a quarter and some birdseed.

In this activity (on page 2), one person "programs" the other like a robot to move through a space, trying to get them to avoid obstacles and reach a goal.

This fun hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore models of the Milky Way and other galaxies to get a sense of relative distances to other galaxies.

In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, volume, density, and bounce height.

In this activity (Lesson 1), learners work in groups to create tide simulations.

In this activity, learners will build a bee hotel for pollinators. Learners will explore building and ecology through this activity.

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

This activity (on pages 21-32 of PDF) has learners act out several classic brain teasers.

In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

In this activity, learners will estimate how many seeds are in a fruit or vegetable, then count to find out. The result: mix estimation with healthy eating.

In this activity, learners investigate the relative growth of lengths, areas, and volumes as cylinders are scaled up.

Learners experiment with water gel crystals, or sodium polyacrylate crystals, which absorb hundreds of times their weight in water. When in pure water, the water gel crystals cannot be seen.
