In this design challenge activity, learners design and build a circuit: an "electric highway" that connects a battery and buzzer at least three feet apart using four types of materials.

In this activity, learners engineer a flying glider using paper hoops and a drinking straw.

In this activity, learners build a tiny but powerful flashlight out of simple materials. Use this activity to introduce learners to electrical circuits and conductivity.

In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War), learners will test how many pennies a flat paper index card bridging the gap between two stacks of books is able to supp

In this activity, learners compare water pressure at different depths. Learners discover that water pressure increases with depth.

In this activity about electricity, learners explore what happens when you blow a fuse.

This activity investigates how bark beetles can threaten forests by having learners estimate the number of infected trees from a photo.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF, learners investigate the importance of washing their hands.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

In this activity on page 15 of the PDF, discover how materials and physical forces behave differently at the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners work in teams to construct and test fly drinking straw rockets. Learners explore how changing the rockets' fins affect flight distance.

In this activity about molecular diffusion (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity), learners will make predictions and move molecules of iodine through a seemingly solid plastic sandw

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to construct a paper bridge that can support 100 pennies.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to help Pharaoh design a better insulated tomb.

In this online game, learners must purchase power plants for their city.

This quiz lets you estimate your annual radiation exposure.

In this activity, learners build a model roller coaster to help the Mummy entertain the Atom's Family monsters. Learners assemble the roller coaster between two chairs using vinyl ceiling molding.

In this activity, learners build mini catapults using paint paddles and a spoon. Use this activity to introduce learners to forces and projectile motion.

In this activity, learners separate materials based on their special properties to mimic the way recyclables are sorted at recycling centers.

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