In this activity, learners make and test fly paper helicopters. Learners use templates to create paper helicopters and then take take turns flying them in the air.

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.

In this activity, learners work in teams to build and test paper airplanes. Learners try to fly their airplanes directly on the runway and earn points for accuracy.

In this activity, learners will discover how fossils are dug out of the earth by carefully exposing treasures hidden in an artificial rock that is easily made at home.

In this activity, learners play a game to simulate the food chain.

In this plant science activity, learners role play as vegetables and weeds competing for nutrients.

In this activity, young learners will describe objects by their properties and sort by color, weight and texture. This activity uses household items and toys for materials.

In this activity about magnetism (page 13 of the pdf), learners will experiment with magnets to explore how water and other liquids affect the strength of magnetic fields.

In this activity, learners will explore the roles of different animals in the food chain. They will create their own food chain using organisms of their choice.

In this engineering activity, learners construct sturdy geodesic structures out of gumdrops and toothpicks. Use this activity to explore engineering principles as well as sturdy shapes and triangles.

In this card-based personal choice activity, learners review and sort COVID-19 and vaccine science information.

In this activity, learners explore the unseen force of friction and how surfaces can slow moving objects at different rates.

In this craft-based activity, learners make DNA sequence bracelets that carry the code of an organism such as a human, trout, chimpanzee or butterfly.

Learners use chromatography to separate and analyze the mixture of pigments in leaves. Use this activity to discuss photosynthesis as well as why leaves change color in autumn.

In this movement and measurement activity, learners jump as far as they can three times, and compare their longest jump to the longest jump of their friends, classmates and/or family members.

In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.

In this math game, learners toss plastic cups to land just right and collect points to win.

In this physics activity, challenge learners to make a race-car out of a coffee can and rubber band. Demonstrate motion, forces, kinetic and potential energy and friction.

In this activity, learners make prisms from gelatin. Learners then shine light through the prisms and discover what happens. This activity introduces learners to the idea of refraction.

Learners make slime from white school glue and Borax detergent. The long chain molecules of the white glue become cross-linked by the Borax into a big network.
