In this design challenge activity, learners build a device to carry a Ping-Pong ball from the top of a zip line to the bottom in four seconds (or less!).

In this activity, learners make pretend snakes and use them to explore estimation and measurement. Learners roll out clay snakes and estimate and measure their lengths and diameters.

In this activity, challenge learners to design a roller coaster ride for a marble using cardboard and other simple materials.

In this math puzzle, one player hides a rainbow of four colors while another player tries to guess the hidden rainbow colors in the correct order.

In this activity about olfaction (8th activity on the page), learners smell 10 different items with different odors. Then they try to identify the smells when they are mixed together.

In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about crystals by growing their very own.

In this activity (1st activity on the page), learners explore their sense of taste and the structure of the tongue by taste-testing various foods.

Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.

In this activity, learners make bridges using an oil-based modeling clay (plasticene). The instructions include discussion questions for both before and after bridge building.

In this demonstration about force and motion, learners will explore the forces that affect a pendulum A simple model pendulum comprised of a ball and string demonstrates how pendulums work as well as

Learners make their own acid-base indicator from red cabbage. They use this indicator to test substances around the house.

In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.

In this activity, learners will perform various investigations to understand the vestibular-ocular reflex and learn about the importance of visual cues in maintaining balance.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering to construct an insect collecting tool (insect aspirator). The pooter uses suction to safely collect smaller insects that nets miss or may injure.

In this activity, learners will model the mechanical weathering and erosion of rocks in a stream or river.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing their very own banjo out of a coffee can. Learners experiment with the canjo to change the instrument's pitch and timbre.

In this activity, learners build mini catapults using paint paddles and a spoon. Use this activity to introduce learners to forces and projectile motion.

This lesson guide includes six simple and quick activities to help learners better understand Bernoulli's Principle.

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 5 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to compare how much energy is released as heat from two different foods.

In this activity, learners separate materials based on their special properties to mimic the way recyclables are sorted at recycling centers.
