Is this activity concentrating on physical science, learners build their very own miniature hovercraft out of a paper cup. Using it, they can explore the concepts of friction and force.

In this activity, learners construct a cereal chain as a model of how proteins are made in the cell.

In this activity, learners simulate whale echolocation. Learners experience echolocation by wearing blindfolds, while another learner makes snapping noises in front of, behind, or to the side of them.

In this activity, learners examine raindrop bottles (prepared ahead of time) to observe in slow motion the behavior of falling droplets and explore concepts such as drag and terminal velocity.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores the relative sizes of various objects. Learners compete to organize their hand of cards into lists of objects from largest to smallest.

In this activity, learners explore the relationship between cooling water vapor and condensation. Learners investigate condensation forming on the outside of a cold cup.

This activity is a fun way to show two stages in a Monarch butterfly's life cycle. Learners will create an optical illusion that can be flipped from caterpillar to butterfly.

In this activity, learners mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.

In this activity, learners use a string and pair of scissors to find pi in the world all around them. Take the circumference of a round object with string and cut the string to that length.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this activity, learners write invisible messages on goldenrod paper, and make the message appear and disappear using acids and bases.

In this activity, learners explore the properties of paper by constructing and modifying paper airplanes.

In this physics activity about rotational inertia, learners use a spinning top made out of a bottle cap and a nail to explore how changing the axis of rotation affects how the energy is used.

How many colors make black? Gather as many water soluble black markers as you can find.

In this activity, learners create their own bird species using arts and crafts materials. The bird call recordings are not online so the introduction activity can't be done, but everything else can.

In this activity, learners recreate a method of detecting and correcting errors in computers called 'parity'.

In this activity, learners perform an experiment that models a chromatography-like process called electrophoresis, a process used to analyze DNA.

In this math activity, each learner creates a book about themselves using a template. Learners discuss the different parts of the body and practice measuring their body parts using crayons.

Learners create an Incan counting device called a quipu (pronounced kee-poo).

This activity focuses on interactions within Earth systems and the effects of human activities. In this activity learners build a biomass pyramid.
