In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

In this nutrition activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will record their food consumption for one day, and then evaluate how their actual diet matched up with the recommended diet.

In this activity (14th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners examine if it is easier or harder to identify an object if they move their hands over it.

In this activity, learners create a map of a hidden surface using a "sounding stick" -- a technique similar to how underwater maps were once made.

In this activity, learners sort different natural phenomena into categories (they occur on Earth, on the Moon, or on both), and then model how energy moves during a quake using spring toys.

Break open that used musical toy and squish some Play-Doh over the circuit boards, and you will hear some weird and distorted sounds the manufacturer never intended!

Exponga estos pósteres en el salón o déjelos donde los chicos los puedan explorar. Los chicos buscan las respuestas en libros de consulta o en línea.

Learners will do an experiment to determine which type of paper is strongest while focusing on variables and collecting data.

In this activity, learners will engineer a roof using simple materials to protect a construction paper person from a rainstorm.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

Los Momentos de Mixing in Math son actividades de 5 a 10 minutos que mantienen a los chicos ocupados, aprendiendo sobre el mundo, y usando matemáticas por su cuenta.

In this activity, learners will explore their center of gravity.

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty soda cans to illustrate Bernoulli's principle.

This is a guide for facilitating interaction at a touch tank with marine animals. The instructions are for setting up a display in an informal science center, but could work anywhere.

With a magnet, iron fillings, and a bottle, you can create a cool demonstration about magnetic lines of force: the fillings will arrange themselves within the magnet's magnetic field.

Look at pictures through different color filters and you'll see them in a new way. People have used color filters in beautiful photography or sending secret messages.

We don't normally view people upside down and so our brains aren't accustomed to it.

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.

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