This activity is a fun challenge for students who have just started learning to program educational robots.

Explore the craters, maria, and highlands on the surface of the Moon! In this fun science project you'll create a 3-D model of the moon using paper mache.

This science fair project idea explores how length affects the weight a bridge can hold.

This activity challenges students to use computational thinking as they create a sequence of commands that will make a robot navigate around several obstacles.

In this open-ended activity, students will be given a small quantity of three types of materials and asked to design a prototype for “something that will improve the school.”

Many ancient cultures used the rising or setting sun to create calendars. Observe the setting sun once a week to come up with your own solar calendar!

Help your young scientist celebrate the wonders of the night sky in the comfort of your own home.

In this activity, students build a house of sticks, just like the second little pig in the classic story, The Three Little Pigs. Then, they program an educational robot to push down the house, much like the wolf who “blows the house down.”

In this activity, students will create a stop motion animation by creating a clay figure and taking a series of digital photographs.

This science fair project demonstrates the magic of arches by challenging students to stack telephone books on top of eggs without breaking them.

This science fair project investigates why the number of visible stars changes from place to place.

In this science fair project, apply the principles of leverage and force by building six simple machines designed to set weights in motion.

In this activity, students will be challenged to describe and count the ways a toy moves from one position on a grid to another.

This activity challenges students to use computational thinking as they create a sequence of commands that will make a robot initiate a domino effect.

This activity challenges your student to use spatial reasoning and computational thinking to program multiple robots.

We all know that the Moon has different phases, but it can be hard to figure out why. Try this activity to see how the Moon's phases really work.

The moon doesn't produce its own light, so why can we see it shining in the sky? Learn about reflection and planetshine in this fun and easy science project!

Using a toy race car kids create a visual model of the Doppler Effect.

Can you dig it? This science experiment isn't for kids who like to keep their hands clean.

Future engineers, unite! Discover how to keep a sandcastleâs bridge from falling into the moat.

Children have a naturally inquisitive mind. Foster their curiosity with a walk through an autumn field or park to answer age-old “why” questions. As you walk with your child, you can encourage them to ask questions.

In this windmill model science project, you will build a windmill to learn about wheel-and-axle machines and how these simple machines are used to do work.

A twist on the gingerbread house, this train is made with graham crackers, icing, and candy decorations. A great 2nd-3rd grade holiday arts and crafts activity.

How do the phases of the Moon and gravity cause spring tides and neap tides? Does the Sun play a role in the tides? Figure it out in this fun science project!

Check out this fun science fair project idea for 1st grade: a solar eclipse model that demonstrates total, partial, and annular solar eclipses.

What cause the phases of the moon? Make a model to see how the positions of the Sun, Moon, and Earth cause the crescent, gibbous, quarter, full, and new moon.

Do hand soaps and sanitizers prevent the growth of bread mold? If so, why? Kids will find out with this fun and informative science fair project idea.

What causes the seasons to change? Kids find out by modeling the earth's tilt using a globe, flashlight and graph paper in this cool science fair project idea.
