In this activity, learners construct a model of DNA to better understand the structure of DNA and protein synthesis.

In this activity, learners build their your own seismograph with household materials to document shaking.

Testing magnets is always a fun pastime, but here, we're going beyond "will it attract the magnet?" In this activity, learners will investigate which materials allow magnetic fields to pass through or

Learners attach an egg to a rubber-band bungee cord and drop the egg.

In this activity, learners discover the principles of edible glass by making a supersaturated sugar solution.

In this activity, learners use marshmallows and gum drops to construct seven models of molecules. Learners classify (solid, liquid or gas) and draw diagrams of the molecules.
