In this activity, learners explore force and motion by constructing cardboard cars that are propelled by balloons.

In this activity, learners build a slide whistle using PVC pipe, bamboo skewer, and piece of foam. Construction of the instrument is relatively simple.

In this engineering activity (page 2 of PDF), young learners investigate how a wide base can make a building more stable. Learners use blocks or boxes of different sizes to construct stable towers.

In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.

In this activity, learners use sieves with different-sized holes to sort balls by size.

In this activity, learners test different food items by timing how long it takes each liquid to slide from the top of a ramp to the bottom.

In this activity on page 13 of the PDF, use a special plastic card that has been painted with a chemical that changes color when it is in UV light.

In this activity on page 2 of the PDF, learners test different materials to find out which is the best insulator.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners experiment with the interesting designs that can be made by painting on plaster.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.

In this activity, learners build a special rolling can that returns back to you when you push it forward. Use this activity to demonstrate the transfer of energy between kinetic and potential energy.

Learners will explore the chemistry of mucous and its importance to our health by following a process to make their own replica "snot." The activity includes a time and age recommendation, a materials

In this activity, learners explore different ways to stack cups to meet a personal goal.

In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

In this sunny day, outdoor activity, learners observe changes in shadows over time. The activity also helps to develop a sense of the Earth's motion.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of plastic bags. Learners find out what happens when they slowly push a pencil through a plastic bag filled with water.

In this activity, learners build unique sound enhancing inventions with items from around the house to amplify sound from their smart phone's speakers.

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

In this activity, learners compare frog eggs to chicken eggs to better understand why frog eggs need water. Learners compare a boiled chicken egg to "frog eggs" represented by boiled tapioca.

In this interactive game, learners will test their memory of animal and insect sounds. Flip over cards, listen to the sound, and try to find the ones that match.
