In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.

In this activity, learners build rockets and shoot them into the air by stomping on the plastic bottle launchers.

Learners will build a homemade pump using a balloon, a mason jar, and some straws.

In this activity, learners compare plant and animal life in different habitats including a sidewalk crack and lawn. Learners sort human-made materials and natural materials found in each habitat.

In this activity, learners build a switch to turn electrical circuits on and off.

In this activity about human anatomy (page 16 of PDF), learners construct a model arm and discover how muscles and bones work together to achieve efficient movement.

In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this activity, learners build a mini crank machine to make a bird "fly." This engineering activity introduces learners to automata, rotational motion, cranks and cams.

In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.

This activity is intended to familiarize learners with native Houston birds, introduce learners to tools biologists use in the field, and to enhance their observation skills.

In this activity, learners explore patterns and sequences as they observe fictional plant growth.

In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their height in pennies.

In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their weight in pennies.

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.

In this math activity, learners experiment with the concept of symmetry.

In this math activity, learners earn "money" by completing simple tasks. Learners complete as many "jobs" as possible in a set amount of time.

In this activity, learners build their own sound machines and explore the interplay of motion and sound.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.
