From this How To slide show, you create an Audio Tape Bow that can play distorted audio sounds by running it across a tape head.

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

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

In this activity about electricity, learners imagine that they are out in the wilderness and it is getting dark. Their task is to use the materials supplied to build a simple flashlight.

This lesson focuses on how to measure at the nanoscale and provides learners with an understanding how small a nanometer really is.

In this biology/ecology activity, learners construct a terrarium out of a tennis ball container. This terrarium is unique because it never has to be watered.

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

Put on a pair of gloves and be the conductor of your invisible orchestra!

In this activity, learners use simple, everyday materials to experiment with balls and ramps.

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

Learners work in groups to build model cars from paper parts. First, each learner builds cars individually and the group times themselves.

In this demonstration, learners compare and contrast regular water ice to dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide). Both samples are placed in a solution of acid-base indicator.

In this activity, learners make an astrolabe, a device used for measuring altitude, including the height of objects in the sky.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

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.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Gecko Feet Activity) about the forces of gravity and surface tension and how their behavior is influenced by size.

This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Bone Regrowth Activity) about the two main components of bone - collagen and minerals (like calcium) - and how they each contribute to its flexibility a

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use pennies to test their hearing acuity.

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