In this activity, learners will put together towers using building bricks, then take the tower apart and challenge themselves to use the same bricks used to build a bridge.

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

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

In this activity, learners thread gumdrops together to make a model of a polymer.

In this technology activity, learners light up the room with electrifying play dough creations. Learners use conductive and insulating homemade play dough to build simple circuits.

In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

In this two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

In this technology activity, learners build simple circuits, design soft circuits using conductive thread, and then sew switch-activated circuits.

In this activity, learners explore the history of making objects from glass and artistry of Dale Chihuly.

This is an activity exploring color and color mixing.

In this activity, learners investigate the basic crystal structures that metal atoms form.

In this activity, learners watch a figure "magically" float up through the air.

In this engineering/design/arts and crafts activity, learners design and build "platforms" or "bridges" that can hold weight, and test which glue makes the strongest structure.

In this activity on page 5 of the PDF (Plants—The Green Machines), learners use chromatography to separate and identify pigments within various leaves.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and construct a trophy for prize-winning sports equipment.

Learners assemble a hot-air balloon from tissue paper. The heated air (from a heat gun) inside the balloon is less dense than the surrounding air and causes the balloon to float.

In this activity on page 11 of the PDF, learners follow simple steps to recycle old newspaper into new paper.

In this activity, learners explore the properties of paper by constructing and modifying paper airplanes.

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF, learners dissolve Epsom salt in water and discover that the resulting solution can be used to create a work of art.
