In "Chemistry Makes Scents," participants use their noses to distinguish between chemicals with very similar structures.

In this activity, learners will create a model rocket out of an inflated balloon attached to a straw on a taught string.

In this activity, learners create models of bugs. Learners use household materials like plastic cups and straws to create models of bugs like centipedes and spiders.

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Sea Turtles Activity), learners will model how a sea turtle population changes over time, from eggs to adults, using puffed rice.

This activity is a hit for family events and all ages—some will finish in 45 minutes; others can go on for hours.

In this activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.

This creative lesson plan provides a visual way for learners to gain knowledge about the finite amount of fresh water on Earth and encourages the discussion of the various ways to conserve this resour

In this activity, learners make balloon models of disease-causing bacteria.

In this activity, learners explore a bucket of sand and beach objects.

In this activity about camouflage, learners create a model that shows how a flounder is able to blend into a variety of environments.

In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.

In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.

This is a quick game about self-assembly (page 2 of PDF under Self-Assembly Activity). Like the molecules of DNA, learners will self-assemble into a pattern by following a simple set of rules.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners imagine what would happen if our Sun were replaced with a black hole.

In this quick activity about pollutants and groundwater (page 2 of PDF under Water Clean-up Activity), learners build a model well with a toilet paper tube.

This activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under GPS: Baby Dinosaurs Activity) is a full inquiry investigation to determine the age of fossils based on where they are discovered.

In this math activity related to volume, learners use problem solving skills to calculate and build a model house for Minus the dog.

In this genetics activity, learners create imaginary creatures known as "Reebops" to explore the relationships between genes and inherited traits.

In this activity, learners build bridges out of newspaper and tape to explore how structures are designed to bear loads.
