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.

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 chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about crystals by growing their very own.

In this activity (1st activity on the page), learners explore their sense of taste and the structure of the tongue by taste-testing various foods.

Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.

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

In this activity, learners will perform various investigations to understand the vestibular-ocular reflex and learn about the importance of visual cues in maintaining balance.

In this activity, learners build mini catapults using paint paddles and a spoon. Use this activity to introduce learners to forces and projectile motion.

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

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 5 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to compare how much energy is released as heat from two different foods.

Learners design their own experiment to investigate how pollution diffuses through ground material.

Learners test solutions of water, sugar, salt, and hydrochloric acid for electrical conductivity. They immerse leads from a lighting device (a battery pack connected to an LED) into each solution.

In this activity, learners separate materials based on their special properties to mimic the way recyclables are sorted at recycling centers.

Students design and build their own parachutes in this hands-on engineering project.

In this activity, learners make a helium balloon "flink"--neither float away nor sink to the ground. Use this activity to introduce physics concepts related to gravity, density, and weight.

In this hands-on activity, learners will become familiar with the special adaptations of rainforest plants and discover the conditions needed for tropical trees to survive along with what can impinge

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 lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.

In this math lesson, learners explore probability.
