In this activity, learners work with an adult to build a rocket and launcher out of a plastic 2-liter bottle, flexible plastic hose, plastic tubing, toilet paper tube, and duct tape.

In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.

Learners create their own piece of history by decorating, shattering, and piecing together a flowerpot "artifact".

In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity demonstrates the shadow of the Earth as it rises as a dark blue shadow above the eastern horizon.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

In this activity (located on page 3 of the PDF), learners investigate the way water moves and how we can control and direct water.

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 observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

In this activity, learners create a cool floating animal using the science of magnetism. Learners discover what happens when a piece of magnetic metal enters a magnet's field.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity illustrates the path of light as it reflects off of mirrors and how this is used in telescopes.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

This is part 3 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. Before starting this section, learners must have completed part 1: sedimentary rock and part 2: metamorphic rocks.

In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.

In this activity, learners mimic remote sensing. Learners use a stick to measure the distance to a "planet surface" they cannot see, and create their own map of the landscape.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity describes techniques scientists use to find planets orbiting other stars.

This is part 1 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. In this activity, learners explore how sedimentary rocks form.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.
