In this activity, learners investigate the concepts of relative size and distance by creating a basic model of the solar system.

In this math lesson, learners explore and investigate measurement using standard and non-standard units.

In this activity, learners build a bird feeder or feeders to attract birds for observation.

In this activity, learners will exercise their imaginations and artistic skills. Appropriate for all ages, learners will create unique pieces to jumpstart storytelling sessions.

An ordinary camera has a lens that makes an image on film. In a pinhole camera, a small hole replaces the lens.

In this activity, learners of all ages can become food scientists by experimenting with flour and water to make basic pasta.

Make impact craters with marbles (or rocks or washers) in a container of flour. Find out what you can learn about your "comets" by the craters they make.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering concepts to construct a blanket fort using materials sourced from home.

In this biology/ecology activity, learners construct a terrarium out of a tennis ball container. This terrarium is unique because it never has to be watered.

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

In this activity, learners use simple, everyday materials to experiment with balls and ramps.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

See and hear how sound waves travel through different types of materials. Extend the experiment online and learn how you can "see" with sound waves using ultrasound.

In this activity, learners will explore light with reflective surfaces. Learners will make predictions and share their observations as they experiment with directing a beam of light.

In this simulation activity, learners observe what can happen when ocean waves churn up water and oil from an oil spill.

In this math lesson, learners participate in a variety of activities that give them experience in recognizing, describing, and extending repeating and arithmetic patterns.

In this activity, learners make an astrolabe, a device used for measuring altitude, including the height of objects in the sky.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils and skeletons. First, learners listen to "Tyrannosaurus Rex" by Daniel Cohen to learn about T. rex dinosaurs specifically.

Some animals can swallow food whole, but humans have to chew. In this activity, learners will investigate what saliva does chemically to food before we even swallow.
