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, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.

In this activity, learners will observe how air interacts with a paper helicopter. Learners will test different variables of weight, size, and shape.

In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

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 gain a better understanding of how household/school waste breaks down in a landfill. Learners collect trash and then create miniature landfills in 2-liter bottles.

In this activity, learners explore the concepts of natural selection and observable traits in a game that can be played at home.

In this activity, learners create music from a series of bottles filed with water. Learners discover that the sound produced by each bottle depends on the amount of water in the bottle.

Learners explore their surroundings while reasoning about categories and counting.

In this chemistry activity, learners prepare two petri dishes, one filled with water and one filled with milk.

In this activity (located in the middle of the page), learners start a garden by planting their socks!

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

Learners explore soybeans, soak them in water to remove their coat, and then split them open to look inside. They also make a musical shaker out of paper cups, a cardboard tube, and soybeans.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.

Did you know that a bullfrog can jump a distance of 10 times its body length? Learn more about nature's most acrobatic amphibian, the frog, through this set of short, hands-on activities.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.

In this activity, learners explore in what ways the shape of the land and the pull of gravity influence how water moves over Earth.

This activity provides instructions for making an aircraft that can really fly using a straw and paper hoops!

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

In this activity, learners build a LEGO® structure while wearing mittens. This activity shows learners how difficult it is to build small things when your tools are too big.
