In this activity, learners explore how polarizing sunglasses can help diminish road glare.

In this activity, learners work in partners to create and exchange messages written in Braille. Learners use a Braille key and thumbtacks to write their messages in Braille.

In this online puzzle game, learners need to choose a path from a starting number to a goal number. Along the path are simple operations (e.g.

Scientists use enormous wind tunnels to test the design of planes, helicopters, even the Space Shuttle.

Electrolysis is the breakdown of water into hydrogen and oxygen. This Exploratorium activity allows learners to visualize the process with an acid-based indicator.

Learners work in groups to build model cars from paper parts. First, each learner builds cars individually and the group times themselves.

This is a demonstration about how nature inspires nanotechnology. It is easily adapted into a hands-on activity for an individual or groups.

This strategy game has simple rules but can be a challenge. Players start with an empty hexagonal grid. On each turn, a player initials one empty hexagon on the grid.

As learners play this game, they develop logic, geometry, and spatial visualization skills. Players start out with an empty hexagonal grid.

In this physics related activity which requires adult supervision, learners make their own powerful water rocket and, with it, explore Newton's Third Law of Motion.

In this activity, learners make mobiles to explore the concepts of balance, counterbalance, weight, and counterweight.

In this activity, learners use simple materials and basic tools to construct a special toy to explore pendulums. As the head of the toy bobs one way, the eyeballs bob the other way.

Jugando a este juego, los chicos desarrollan habilidades en área, perímetro, múltiples, y factores. Tomen turnos para hacer rectángulos con 12 cuadrados en la cuadrícula.

In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).

In this activity, reuse two-liter bottles to create bowling pins. Learners practice math skills and develop a concept of verifying answers, while bowling and keeping score.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

In this activity about problem-solving, learners build a house for the Three Little Pigs using twenty straws and two index cards.

In this Cyberchase activity, learners make decoders to send and receive secret messages. Learners make the device out of two 8-ounce cups and two code strips.

In this activity, learners will imagine the challenges and opportunities of asteroid mining.

In this Engineering Design Challenge activity, learners will use balloons to investigate how a multi-stage rocket, like that used in the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, can propel a sat
