From their website "Search over 3,500 of the very best science and math activities on the web. Find handpicked activities from your favorite science museums, public television stations, universities, and other educational organizations. All activities are available to anyone, free of charge. Start searching now and filter by age, material costs, and learning time to find exactly what you need for your class, educational program, or family." They have excellent sections on Astronomy, Life Science, Health and the Human Body and Chemistry. The math section was not particularly useful. To see the website click here.
I liked the lesson titled "Sweetly Balanced Equations". In this (edible) activity, learners balance chemical equations using different kinds and colors of candy that represent different atoms. Learners will work in pairs and explore conservation of atoms. One partner will use his/her candy to simulate the reactant (left) side of the equation and the other partner will use his/her candy to simulate the product (right) side.
