This is a tape and glue activity in which learners make binoculars that they can decorate and then use to go bird watching.

Learners explore their surroundings while reasoning about categories and counting.

In this activity, learners investigate the impact of oil pollution on the environment and wildlife. Learners use hard-boiled eggs and feathers to understand the damage that oil spills can cause.

This activity about cryptographic techniques illustrates how to accomplish a simple, but nevertheless seemingly impossible task—making a fair, random choice by flipping a coin between two people who d

Learners explore soybeans, soak them in water to remove their coat, and then split them open to look inside. They also make a musical shaker out of paper cups, a cardboard tube, and soybeans.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.

In this activity, learners use microarray technology to determine which genes are turned on and off at various points in the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells on their way to becoming pancreat

In this activity, learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

In this math lesson, learners apply the Monte Carlo method of simulation to determine a reasonable estimate.

In this math lesson, learners design an experiment to model a leaky faucet and determine the amount of water wasted due to the leak.

In this math activity, learners read "The Button Box" by Margarette S. Reid and then make their own button boxes filled with different buttons.

Using recycled materials, learners will design a transportation vehicle to carry an egg in an egg toss (a rudimentary model of a shock absorbent transport vessel).
