Investigate a flower's power of marketing by making an imitation flower that successfully signals a bee (or other pollinator of your choice) to visit.

Create a chemical reaction that makes cheese! This hands-on activity demonstrates that molecules and atoms are tiny particles that make up everything around us.

Explore the effects of gravity on a slowly falling object: a parachute you make out of plastic bags, string and stones.

This activity lets you program your 'robot' (a willing friend) to pick up and dispose of some 'toxic waste' using as few commands as possible.

Create 3D glasses and use them to explore color, light and optics. Fool your brain into 'seeing' three dimensions on a flat surface!

Discover the wind's direction using bubbles, a map and a keen eye. Learners blow bubbles and note their general direction on a map, taking readings from different points around a building.

In this activity, learners smell bottles containing bee pheromone molecules (or herb/spice extracts as a substitute). Bees release these molecules to send messages to each other.

This is an activity about our sense of smell and how it compares to sharks' super noses. Learners will create varying solutions of water and perfume.

This hands-on activity lets participant explore chemical reactions as they create a soda explosion with lots of bubbles. The bubbles in soda are made of carbon dioxide gas.

In this is activity about sound and vibration, learners create their own 'flutes' with drinking straws, then investigate how changing the length of the straw affects the sounds that are produced.

Discover geometry by creating shapes from loops of paper. In this activity, paper loops transform to give you totally new structures when you cut them.

In this activity, learners investigate diffusion by creating underwater "fireworks" using food coloring, oil and water.

In this inquiry-based lesson, learners measure the biomass of trees, calculate the carbon stored by the trees, and use this information to create recommendations about using trees for carbon sequestra

In this lesson, learners develop a robot arm using common materials. Learners explore design, construction, and teamwork, as well as materials selection and use.

This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.

This is a great activity about wave interference. Learners will create their own wave machine and discover wave properties through hands-on investigation.

In this activity, learners mix white craft glue and borax solution together to produce a surprising new material: GOOP!

In this activity, learners will investigate static electricity as they create waterless snow globes.

In this activity exploring liquid dynamics, learners design and build a clay channel in a tray of water and then see what happens when food coloring and liquid soap are added to the mix.

This activity is about collecting and analyzing DNA as part of a criminal investigation.
