In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will move a load using a lever of each of the 3 classes. They will explore the differences between these classes and which are more effective.

In this activity, learners explore the magnetic field of a bar magnet as an introduction to understanding Earth's magnetic field. First, learners explore and play with magnets and compasses.

This is an activity about acid-base reactions using eggs and vinegar. Learners place eggs inside a container of vinegar and leave to soak overnight.

Learners will construct a model of a heart valve using a film canister, a piece of masking tape, and a piece of paper.

Learners will explore the chemistry of mucous and its importance to our health by following a process to make their own replica "snot." The activity includes a time and age recommendation, a materials

In this activity, learners experiment with hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, yeast, and baking soda to produce hot and cold reactions. Use this activity to demonstrate exothermic and endothermic reactions.

In this activity, learners use candy pieces and a cookie to make an accurate model of the Sun they can eat. Parts of the delicious model include solar granules, sunspots, and solar prominences.

In this activity, learners build a Wilberforce Pendulum, a special coupled pendulum in which energy is transferred between two modes of vibration, longitudinal ("bounce') and torsional ("twist"), on a

This is part 1 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. In this activity, learners explore how sedimentary rocks form.

In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.

In this activity, learners place cards featuring biological structures in order by their relative size from largest to smallest.

In this activity, learners will create unique rockets. Each rocket will be powered by air as the learner will blow into a straw and watch their rocket fly.

In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.

In this activity, use standard playing cards to introduce learners to cellular interactions such as cell to cell recognition and signal and receptor specificity.

In this activity, learners will engineer a water irrigation system. Learners will create a ditch irrigation system -- or an acequia-- to move water with the help of gravity.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners trap a thin layer of air between two pieces of Plexiglas to produce rainbow-colored interference patterns.

In this activity, learners will create a home for animal friends in their backyard using recycled materials. Some material suggestions include: pine straw and twigs.

In this activity, learners investigate how some butterfly wings get their color.

In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.
