This activity (aka "snack") provides instructions for discovering your blind spot. It is an exploration of light and visual perception using simple materials you may have around the house.

In this activity, learners create a kind of balance device using a wire coat hanger, some string, and paper cups.

In this activity, learners explore color, light and shadow by creating their own puppets to hold in front of a light source.

This simple but open-ended math game introduces basic probability concepts using coins and dice. Players roll the dice and collect coins to match the number rolled.

In this chemistry activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners observe a chemical change. Learners write and reveal a secret message using edible ink.

Learners examine the properties of light by experimenting with an LED-flashlight and polarizing filters. When two polarizers are used, they block all light when they are placed at right angles.

In this math activity, learners guess a secret number between 1 and 100 in a three-player game.

This lesson (on pages 15-24 of PDF) explores how sound is caused by vibrating objects. It explains that we hear by feeling vibrations passing through the air.

In this activity, challenge learners to predict and investigate how many water drops they can fit on one penny.

In this math activity, learners create a magic turtle where all the rows, columns and diagonals add up to fifteen.

In this activity, learners are introduced to division and fractions as they share snacks with a group of friends.

In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate air has weight by comparing an inflated balloon to a deflated one.

In this activity, learners play NOAA's Carbon Tracker game and discover ways to keep track of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the world.

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use pennies to test their hearing acuity.

This game explores the different reasons we choose to eat, and helps us be aware of when our body needs food and when it does not.

Learners observe a simple balloon model of an electrostatic precipitator. These devices are used for pollutant recovery in cleaning industrial air pollution.
