In this activity, learners use plastic tubing and a funnel to listen to their heart. Learners also discover that if they run around, their heart pumps harder and faster, making it easier to hear.
Snowstorm in a Jar
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will experiment with density and chemical reactions to create a flurry activity.
Bubble Cups
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will construct a device to blow bubbles. By adding corn syrup to the bubble solution, we can increase the surface tension of the bubbles--and their size.
Decomposition Column
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners turn empty 2-liter bottles into a see-through compost container.
Familiar Fossils
In this activity, learners explore different types of fossils by making their out of dough and objects from around the house.
DIY Recycled Crayons
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will experience the different states of matter using crayons as the medium. Explore matter changing between phases while recycling old crayons.
Paper Towel Strength
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will test the strength of different brands of paper towels.
Penny Estimation
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners estimate how many pennies are in a jar by predicting and counting handfuls of pennies.
Habitat Observations
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners discover the wonders of the habitat surrounding them.
Homemade Snow
Source Institutions
In this sensory activity, learners enjoy the fun of a snow day any season of the year.
Floating Dry Erase Creations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create a drawing with dry erase markers and watch it come to life. Learners will explore chemistry, art and storytelling through this activity.
Seed Orbs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make seed orbs to grow new trees and plants. Learners will explore ecology and life cycles as well as stewardship through this activity.

Heat Speeds Up Reactions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the effect of heat on a reaction.
Discovery Time: Tracks
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners, (2 years and up) explore animal behavior and adaptations by providing a "track trap" and observing the signs animals leave behind.
If You Lived in a Forest
Source Institutions
This activity encourages learners to focus on the natural environment of the Eastern Woodlands before the arrival of European settlers.
Discovery Time: Wildflowers
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore flower and plant biology and pollination by planting seed in a homemade seed starter.
Scream for Ice Cream
Source Institutions
Don't scream for ice cream -- make it with milk, sugar, flavoring and some 'salt-water' ice. Discover the chemistry of ice cream by creating your own.
Engineer an Aeolipile
