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

Learners design and build a roller coaster using simple materials. Learners experiment with potential and kinetic energy to get a marble to follow a track into a cup.

In this activity, learners will investigate and compare the root systems of plants. Explore how weed and edible plant roots differ, and take a closer look inside with the careful use of a knife!

In this optics activity, learners discover that when they rotate a special black and white pattern called a Benham's Disk, it produces the illusion of colored rings.

In this activity, young learners and their caregivers use non-standard tools, like M&Ms and paper clips, to measure things around their home.

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

In this activity, learners construct a small "air cannon," and use its airflow to put out a candle (lit with the help of an adult).

In this activity, learners will make their own "ball bearing" with two jar lids, marbles, and some household supplies.

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.

In this physics activity (page nine of the pdf), learners use balloons to explore how a rocket works. It is suggested they also work to see how they can alter the velocity of the rocket.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF) features a recipe to create the stretchy polymer Flubber from Borax detergent, white glue, and water.

In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will construct their own spiral "snake" and use it to explore the relationship between heat and kinetic energy.

In this activity, learners play a game that helps young mathematicians recognize how the numbers 0 through 5 are related. Learners toss five pompoms into circle made out of string on the floor.

In this activity, learners separate the protein from milk and and use it to make their own glue.
