Have you ever tried to reach for something that was too far away? What tool could help you reach an object? Try inventing your own grabber to use at home.
Make a fun balloon powered DIY car from just a few peices of recycled materials, like a juice box and bottle tops. Chances are you have all the materials you need for this entertaining craft right at home. It's also an easy project that young chldren can make from start to finisih
In this activity you can find out how to make your own Alka-Seltzer lava lamp. How will changing the temperature of the ingredients change the behavior of the colorful blobs in your laval lamp?
Make an Atom Lesson.
In this activity, you will use recyclable materials to make your own wall marble run! A marble run is a fun toy and a great way to earn about physics concepts like kinetic and potential energy. Do you think your marble will make it to the end of the track?
How do scientists and engineers control robots that drive around other planets millions of miles away? It is nowhere near as easy as driving a toy remote-control car here on Earth. In this activity, you will experience some of the challenges you face when driving a "robot" that you cannot see!

Ratios, direct variation, percentages, and related rates are important concepts in math and science. One of the attractive features of nuclear energy is the ratio of fuel consumed to the energy output. A very small volume of fuel yields a lot of energy compared to other fuels like natural gas or coal. A fun activity to model this involves popping popcorn. A small volume of kernels makes a tasty treat with a much higher volume than the input of kernels.
