Rainstorm Rescue | Waterproof Materials Science Experiment for K–2
Can you keep water from getting through a material? In this hands-on science challenge, students test different materials to see which ones block water and which ones let it soak through. Children discover that some materials are waterproof while others are absorbent — and connect their findings to real-world engineering of raincoats, umbrellas, and shelters. Includes an introductory page with a real-world connection, step-by-step testing instructions, a student recording sheet for predictions a

Build a Water Slide | Water Flow & Surface Science Experiment | Hands-On STEM
Can you design a path that helps water move quickly from top to bottom? Part of a 20-challenge series, this hands-on engineering challenge, students build a mini water slide using household materials and test how different surfaces affect the speed of water flow. Children learn that water flows downhill but that texture and shape change how fast it moves. Includes an introductory page with a real-world connection to water flowing over different surfaces, step-by-step building and testing instruc

Strong or Weak? Paper Bridge Engineering Challenge | STEM Design Activity K–2
an you make a single sheet of paper strong enough to hold a toy? In this exciting engineering design challenge, students discover that changing the shape of a material can change how strong it is. Children experiment with folding, rolling, and bending paper to create a bridge between two supports that can hold weight. Includes an introductory page with a real-world connection to bridge engineering, step-by-step design and testing instructions, a student recording sheet for sketching designs and

Leaf Investigation Lab | Plant Science Observation Activity | STEM for K–2
Can you find and compare different leaves? Part of a 20-challenge series, this nature-based science activity, students go on a leaf hunt, examine different types of leaves, and create leaf rubbings to observe shapes, sizes, and vein patterns up close. Children learn that leaves help plants survive and grow by making food, and they discover how different trees have uniquely shaped leaves. Includes a colorful leaf identification chart featuring nine common leaf types (oak, maple, pine, birch, will

Sink or Float Engineering Challenge | Boat Building STEM Activity for K–2
Can you take something that sinks and make it float? Part of a 20-challenge series, this exciting engineering challenge, students explore buoyancy and design by reshaping materials (like aluminum foil or clay) to build a boat that stays on top of the water. Children connect their work to real-world engineering by learning how boat designers create vessels that float. Includes an introductory page with a real-world connection to ship engineering, step-by-step instructions with a materials list, a

Drop Count Challenge | Science Experiment | Hands-On STEM Activity
How many drops of water can fit on a coin before it spills? Part of a 20-challenge series, students are amazed as they discover the power of surface tension in this simple but thrilling science challenge! Using just a coin, a dropper (or straw), and water, children carefully count drops, make predictions, and observe how water molecules stick together to form a dome shape. This activity introduces the concept of surface tension and cohesion with a real-world connection to how water behaves in na
