In this activity, learners create a traditional Mexican noisemaker (a matraca) using cardboard, craft sticks, and a wooden dowel.

In this activity, learners make slides of onion cells and their own cheek cells. Use this lab to teach learners how to prepare microscope slides and use a microscope.

In this activity, learners construct a simple game to test their hand-eye coordination and steadiness of hand.

In this activity, learners create a mind and math puzzle that requires a three-dimensional solution.

In this activity, learners build a game that tests their steadiness. Learners construct the game board by setting up an electrical circuit and a wand.

In this physics activity, learners build a toy with a figure that spins around like a gymnast on the high bar.

In this activity, learners construct three optical illusion toys to examine how our brains play tricks on what we see.

In this activity, learners discover that some things only stand up while they are spinning.

Learners use shop tools and various materials to construct a magnetic spinner and a compass.

Trick your family and friends with this creepy crawler that moves up and down. In this activity, learners construct a circuit and motor device that will move a homemade spider in a spooky way.
