Use echolocation to find others and experience how whales’ senses have adapted to suit their environment. In pairs, learners are blindfolded and use containers filled with marbles to find each other.

Learners draw and cut out shapes of organs from construction paper. Then they attach these organs to the body of one learner to make a life-sized map of all the internal organs.

In this activity, learners will observe a deceptively simple process: a burning candle.

In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of DNA using paper and toothpicks. While constructing this model, learners will explore the composition and structure of DNA.

In this activity, learners repeat patterns in two and three dimensions to create tessellations.

In this activity, learners use Styrofoam to collect organisms from a pond, estuary or marine environment and then examine what they have caught with a microscope.

In this demonstration, learners explore a variation of a Foucault pendulum, but upside down.

In this chemistry demonstration, acid rain is simulated in a petri dish.

In this activity, learners will explore how different bird beaks work and discover what birds can eat based on their beak shape.

In this activity, learners make a model of a beehive using simple materials.

In this activity, learners build their your own seismograph with household materials to document shaking.

In this activity, learners will learn how to knit using only their hands. Learners will explore patterns and fabrication as well as develop fine motor skills and patience through this activity.

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 will create an optical illusion top. Learners will explore color mixing, physics and design through this activity.

In this 7-10 day investigation, learners develop an understanding of waves and tides and their motion through discussion, demonstration, and hands-on activities.

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, learners make pretend snakes and use them to explore estimation and measurement. Learners roll out clay snakes and estimate and measure their lengths and diameters.

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

This lesson plan provides learners with two activities to explore the connections between events in their lives and the seasons of the year.

In this math puzzle, one player hides a rainbow of four colors while another player tries to guess the hidden rainbow colors in the correct order.
