In this activity, learners will discover how our universe is continuously expanding.

In this activity, learners construct paper airplanes that twist and turn.

In this activity, learners make a model of the hot water of a deep sea vent in the cold water of the ocean to learn about one of the ocean's most amazing and bizarre underwater habitats.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

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

In this activity, learners work in teams to construct human lung models from small plastic beverage bottles and balloons.

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

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

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into Bernoulli’s principle and airplane wings.

In this activity, learners build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

In this activity, learners build edible models of DNA, while learning basic DNA structure and the rules of base pairing.

In this activity (last activity on the page), learners make a model of the eardrum (also called the "tympanic membrane") and see how sound travels through the air.

In this design challenge activity, learners add a jet-propulsion system (i.e. a balloon) to a blimp so it flies straight and far under its own power.

In this activity, learners get hands-on with geometry by making a polyhedron kitty sculpture.

In this activity, PVC pipe, plastic water bottles and vinyl tubing are used to make a simple working toilet model. The model shows the role of a siphon in the flushing of a toilet.

In this activity, learners build small indoor paper rockets, determine their flight stability, and launch them by blowing air through a drinking straw.

In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.

In this activity, learners will create their very own constellation.

In this activity, learners create volcanoes like those they have examined on Earth and Mars through images taken by spacecraft.

In this activity, learners make film canister rocket ships. A fin pattern is glued onto the outside of the canister, and fuel (water and half an antacid tablet) is mixed inside the canister.
