In this activity, learners are asked to examine the differences between two materials in a pair.

In this quick activity, Dracula has a hole in his house and learners help solve the problem by using a mirror and protractor to reflect incoming light out of his house.

When you teeth clatter, they make quite the racket disproportionately to how much they actually sound to someone else.

In this activity, learners discover that some plastics will shrink when you get them hot. Learners bake polystyrene in a regular oven and discover what happens.

Build a hydrometer (measures the density of a liquid) using a pipet or eyedropper.

Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!

Learners use a candle to investigate the products of combustion. When a glass rod is held over a lit candle, the candle flame deposits carbon on the rod.

This science activity demonstrates the dominant eye phenomena. What does your brain do when it sees two images that conflict?

In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

Learners match puzzle pieces to outlines of a DNA strand. The puzzle pieces represent the four chemicals making up DNA base pairs: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of valve operation and how engineers have adapted valves for use in mechanical heart valve design.

In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.

In this activity, learners explore surgical instrument design. Teams of learners construct surgical instruments from everyday materials.

Learners observe a flask with a balloon attached over the mouth and inverted inside the flask.

In this interactive game, learners listen to the songs of four different thrushes and then try to match each bird with its song.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

In this activity, learners create air cannons out of everyday materials. Learners use their air cannons to investigate air as a force and air pressure.

In this activity, learners gain knowledge about how carbon moves through all four of the Earth’s major spheres (biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere), and understand how humans influenc

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing tube zithers, stringed instruments from Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.
