This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore the difference between telescope magnification and resolution.

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF), learners create a low-tech refrigerator that requires no electricity to keep food from spoiling.

In this activity, learners will explore two-dimensional shapes that are found in three-dimensional shapes. Learners will explore geometry, design, color and tool use through this activity.

In this activity, learners will create their own lava lamps. Learners will explore density, effervescence and chemistry through this activity.

In this design challenge activity, learners modify a cup so it can carry a marble down a zip line and also drop it onto a target.

Learners use a commercially available toy to experiment with density. They fill a chamber in the toy submarine with baking powder and release it into a tank of water.

This is a game that is sure to sharpen players' basic math skills. Players must use four randomly selected numbers to create an equation that equals a fifth number.

In this activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.

In this activity, learners will explore how animal in cold areas stay warm.

Learners mix a solution of luminol with hydrogen peroxide to produce a reaction that gives off blue light.

In this activity about depth perception, learners create an optical illusion in a shoe box.

In this activity, learners will explore acid-base reactions and create their own bubbly results.

This lesson familiarizes learners with the term "tropical belt." First, learners locate the equator, Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn on a map and trace these lines with a crayon.

In this engineering activity, learners design their own board games.

In this game, learners cutout a model black hole "cone" and attempt to roll around a marble or other small spherical object without touching the event horizon.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of friction and how ball bearings reduce friction.

In this hands-on activity, learners use an assortment of (mainly household) items to complete Rube Goldberg-type challenges.

Learners create three solutions with different levels of salinity. They compare the density of these solutions by coloring them and layering them in a clear plastic cup and in a soda bottle.

In this activity, learners make a model of the solid Earth's layers that's good enough to eat! Learners use tasty foodstuffs to simulate Earth's inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust.

Based of the The Tech Challenge 2015, learners will engage in two mini-design challenges related to seismic engineering.
