In this activity learners will be creating art using a traditional Japanese art style.

In this quick activity about size and scale (on page 2 of the PDF under What's Nano?

In this activity, learners mimic remote sensing. Learners use a stick to measure the distance to a "planet surface" they cannot see, and create their own map of the landscape.

In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of static electricity.

In this activity, learners discover how exercise helps keep the body healthy. Learners increase their heart rates by running and understand how running fast versus walking affects their pulse rates.

In this activity, learners act as the Earth and observe how different angles between the Sun, Earth, and Moon affect the phases of the moon we see each month.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

In this activity (p.3-4 of PDF), learners learn about disease transmission and antibiotic resistance.

In this fun optics activity, learners explore principles of light, reflection (mirrors), and perception. Learners work in pairs and sit on opposite sides of a "two-way" mirror.

In this online activity, learners will brush up on their multiplication, division, and factoring skills with this exciting game.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can explore means of physically separating a mixture using dissolving, filtration, and evaporation.

In this activity, learners build a scale model of the solar system using a roll of toilet paper.

In this activity, learners explore genes and traits. Learners investigate their fingerprints and learn how to categorize them.

Learners initially test to see how many drops of liquid (water, rubbing alcohol, and vegetable oil) can fit on a penny.

In this activity related to light and perception, learners use a pinhole in an index card as a magnifying glass to help their eye focus on a nearby object.

In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners create a magnetic field that's stronger than the Earth's magnetic field.

In this activity, learners will make a thaumatrope, an old-fashioned optical illusion that dates back to the 1820s.

In this simple activity, learners create an electroscope by sticking two short pieces of magic tape together and then pulling them apart to find the sign of the charge on an unknown charged object.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can play this game to learn about the major polyatomic ions (an ion that consists of two different elements).

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.
