In this activity, learners build cars using syringes and water-powered hydraulics. Learners construct the car frame out of cardboard and set up a hydraulic system to raise and lower the car.

In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.

In this activity (page 4 of the pdf), learners build a model of a tide pool, using chicken wire, paper mache, and other craft materials.

By building a model of a lung and diaphragm, learners discover the function of various parts of the body's respiratory system.

In this activity, learners recreate the lunar phases using the frosting from Oreo® cookies and place the phases in order. Round cream cheese crackers can also be used if cookies are not an option.

In this activity, learners use bubbles to investigate the structure and unique properties of cell membranes. Bubbles serve as macroscopic models that mimic the cells' phospholipid bilayers.

Using simple materials, learners will construct the end effector (grasping device) of a robotic arm and use the device to capture and pick up an object.

This activity models the mass coral spawning event that takes place at Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary every August.

In this activity, learners measure the diameter of their water balloons, model an impact, measure the diameter of the “crater” area, and determine the ratio of impactor to crater.

In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.

In this activity, learners cut, fold, and paste paper representing biomolecules to create a three-dimensional cell membrane with embedded proteins.

In this earth science activity, learners conduct a series of short experiments to explore how rocks change.

In this activity, learners design and build a simple wind vane —one of the oldest kinds of weather tools— and use it to show wind direction.

In this experiment, learners discover how an airfoil creates lift. Learners use simple materials to build an airfoil and test it at different angles to investigate Bernoulli's principle.

In this activity, learners simulate the behavior of the atmosphere.

Learners gain an intuitive knowledge of the physical aspects of watersheds by creating their own watershed models.

In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete

In this activity, learners create a working model of a nail clipper. This activity helps learners learn the basic principles of simple machines, engineering design and model building.

Build your own Mini Mini Golf Course and learn about hands-on building and design, basic circuitry, motion modules and more!

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.
