In this activity, learners will take a step back and learn the history of the land they live on, and the people who used to live on it.

This activity is a sensory experience that recreates the sounds of a pond at night.

In this activity, learners map their world by drawing a plan of their bedroom.

In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

In this activity, learners build and test a compass. Learners work in pairs and pretend they are stuck in the wilderness at night.

In this activity, learners build a speedboat using paint paddles, a propeller, and film canister. Learners attach a simple circuit and motor to the boat to power the propellers.

In this design challenge, learners build a boat that paddles itself using a rubber band as its power source.

Learners drop two different masses of play dough and observe how long it takes them to hit the ground.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

In this activity, learners design a bungee jump for an egg using nylon stockings.

In this quick SciGirls activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design), learners will be introduced to the concept of thermal conductivity.

Learners attach an egg to a rubber-band bungee cord and drop the egg.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that’s at least 12 inches high with two or more parts that move (spin, sway, or flap) in the wind.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a device to carry a Ping-Pong ball from the top of a zip line to the bottom in four seconds (or less!).

In this activity, challenge learners to design a roller coaster ride for a marble using cardboard and other simple materials.

In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.

This lesson guide includes six simple and quick activities to help learners better understand Bernoulli's Principle.

In this activity, learners will use a compact disc to build an air puck that can glide across a smooth tabletop. The puck glides with almost no friction on a cushion of air escaping from a balloon.

In this activity, learners conduct the "Stroop Effect" test and explore what happens when they try to complete two simple tasks at the same time.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing an instrument using some metal pipes, rubber bands, and a baseboard.
