In this activity, learners build a special rolling can that returns back to you when you push it forward. Use this activity to demonstrate the transfer of energy between kinetic and potential energy.

In this thought-provoking activity, learners plan a hypothetical project to build and operate wind turbines in their community.

Learners will explore the chemistry of mucous and its importance to our health by following a process to make their own replica "snot." The activity includes a time and age recommendation, a materials

Learners cover a bottle with a balloon. When they immerse the bottle in warm water, the balloon inflates. When they immerse the bottle in a bowl of ice, the balloon deflates.

In this activity, learners explore different ways to stack cups to meet a personal goal.

In this activity, learners experiment with hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, yeast, and baking soda to produce hot and cold reactions. Use this activity to demonstrate exothermic and endothermic reactions.

In this activity, learners make plaster casts of an animal track to learn more about animals and animal behavior.

This game teaches ratio and proportion by having learners make "salads" that combine three types of beans in different combinations.

In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.

In this sunny day, outdoor activity, learners observe changes in shadows over time. The activity also helps to develop a sense of the Earth's motion.

Some bugs can walk on the surface of a lake, stream, river, pond or ocean.

In this activity, learners use candy pieces and a cookie to make an accurate model of the Sun they can eat. Parts of the delicious model include solar granules, sunspots, and solar prominences.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of plastic bags. Learners find out what happens when they slowly push a pencil through a plastic bag filled with water.

In this activity, learners will make cleaning up more fun with predictions and counting. Estimate how many things are on the floor (or table), then count as they are picked up.

In this activity, learners build unique sound enhancing inventions with items from around the house to amplify sound from their smart phone's speakers.

This is part 1 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. In this activity, learners explore how sedimentary rocks form.

In this activity, learners discover a trick to release the air out of a balloon without popping it.

In this experiment, pairs of learners explore how cold water affects circulation. The mammalian diving reflex (MDR) slows circulation when the body is exposed to cold water.

In this activity, learners make optical fibers out of strips of gelatin.
