Learners explore three-dimensional geometric frames including cubes and tetrahedrons, as they create bubble wands with pipe cleaners and drinking straws.

In this activity, learners explore phosphorescence and how certain materials can absorb and store energy from a light source.

In this activity, learners explore the relative efficiency of different bulbs, specifically incandescent vs. fluorescent.

Build your own version of the classic physics toy using simple materials.

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.

Break open that used musical toy and squish some Play-Doh over the circuit boards, and you will hear some weird and distorted sounds the manufacturer never intended!

In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.

In this activity, learners build their own sound machines and explore the interplay of motion and sound.

In this two-part activity about luminescence, learners explore the chemistry that happens inside glow sticks and other light producing reactions.

In this activity, learners build a Wilberforce Pendulum, a special coupled pendulum in which energy is transferred between two modes of vibration, longitudinal ("bounce') and torsional ("twist"), on a

In this activity, learners build a cuica or chirping bird using straw, string, and a bottle cap. Use this activity to explore the interplay of motion and sound.
