In this activity, learners will discover how to make butter from scratch. One optional tips includes adding marbles to speed up the process.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized "whiskers" can protect clothing from stains.

Learners explore the endless possibilities of cardboard engineering in this open-ended STEAM activity. Practice being creative by building structures with no glue, only cardboard and scissors.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.

In this activity on page 8 of the PDF, learners make a slimy substance very similar to mucus, and sprinkle it with glitter to imitate the way that allergens are trapped.

In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

Using simple, inexpensive items, learners build and test submarine models.

In this activity (page 89 of the PDF), learners compare and contrast pitch and roll motions by using a Magic Carpet maze similar to one that was used for Neurolab investigations about microgravity.

In this activity, learners explore liquid crystal thermometers to observe how heat flows by conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation.

From this How To slide show, you create an Audio Tape Bow that can play distorted audio sounds by running it across a tape head.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering concepts to construct a blanket fort using materials sourced from home.

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

Put on a pair of gloves and be the conductor of your invisible orchestra!

In this activity, learners use simple, everyday materials to experiment with balls and ramps.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

Learners observe two model atmospheres -- one with normal atmospheric composition and another with an elevated concentration of carbon dioxide.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this activity, learners play NOAA's Carbon Tracker game and discover ways to keep track of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the world.

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use pennies to test their hearing acuity.
