Do you have animal attraction? You can right in your own back yard with some craft supplies, your imagination and a little help from Mother Nature.
Contributed By: Chicago Botanic Garden
Can you build a car that runs on air? Using household materials, experiment with the power of air to create thrust powerful enough to move a homemade car.

Does yeast breathe? Find out by watching plastic bags filled with yeast, warm water and different amounts of sugar.
Students will explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.
