• Mini-labs for a target age group to participate in
• Science games and activities (e.g., board games connected to survival of an animal, making observations with a microscope, hands-on exploration of field equipment, simple aerobic exercises connected to a health concept, a math problem groups can work on together, an engineering challenge)
• Art representations of science concepts (e.g., side-walk chalk)
