Cartesian Diver
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure. A "diver" constructed out of a piece of straw and Blu-Tack will bob inside a bottle filled with water.

Float Your Boat
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

Rocket Reactions
Source Institutions
The "Rocket Reactions" activity is an exciting way to learn about how materials interact, behave, and change.

Wind Tubes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create and experiment with wind tubes. These tubes are a playful and inventive way to explore the effect that moving air has on objects.

Homemade Rube Goldberg Machine
Source Institutions
In this fun and, at times, hilarious force and motion activity, learners will use household objects to build a crazy contraption and see how far they can get a tennis ball to move.

Acid Rain
Source Institutions
In this chemistry demonstration, acid rain is simulated in a petri dish.

Model Wind Tunnel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a miniature wind tunnel to measure force. Learners construct the model out of Lexan plastic, a fan, and a precise digital scale.

Have a Heart
Source Institutions
Your heart pumps blood throughout your body in one direction, around in a loop. In this activity, learners will make a model of one type of heart chamber called a ventricle.

Exploring Earth: Temperature Mapping
Source Institutions
This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.

Jam Jar Jet
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a "Jam Jar Jet" based on Francois Reynst's discovery of a pulsejet engine, which uses one opening for both air intake and exhaust.

Demonstrating An Epidemic
Source Institutions
This experiment allows learners to experience a small scale "epidemic," demonstrating the ease with which disease organisms are spread, and enables learners to determine the originator of the "epidemi
