In this activity, learners (at least three) work together to explore the effects of atmospheric pressure.

"Molecules in Motion" explores how materials behave and change in a vacuum.

In this activity, learners try to blow up a balloon hanging inside of an empty bottle.

Demonstrate the Bernoulli Principle using simple materials on a small or large scale.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a lemon slice appears to magically levitate within a pint glass.

In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.

In this demonstration, learners observe vinegar and baking soda creating carbon dioxide (CO2) in a bottle. The gas is poured out of a bottle onto a candle flame, putting out the candle.

In this weather-related activity, learners make a portable cloud in a bottle.

Learners build a simple aneroid barometer to learn about changes in barometric pressure and weather forecasting. They observe their barometer and record data over a period of days.

Learners blow into balloons and collect their breath--carbon dioxide gas (CO2). They then blow the CO2 from the balloon into a solution of acid-base indicator.

Learners test two jars containing soil, one covered and one open, for changes in temperature. After placing the jars in the Sun, learners discover that the covered jar cools down more slowly.

Learners conduct a simple experiment to model and explore the harmful effects of acid rain (vinegar) on living (green leaf and eggshell) and non-living (paper clip) objects.

In this activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.

Learners test two jars containing hot water, one covered with plastic and one open, for changes in temperature.

In this demonstration, learners compare and contrast regular water ice to dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide). Both samples are placed in a solution of acid-base indicator.

Learners test two jars of ice water, one covered and one open, for changes in temperature. After placing the jars in the sun, learners discover that the covered jar cools down more slowly.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners determine the location of cold and warm fronts on weather plot maps.

In this demonstration about force and motion, learners will explore the forces that affect a pendulum A simple model pendulum comprised of a ball and string demonstrates how pendulums work as well as

In this activity, learners observe what would happen to their bodies if they went to outer space without a space suit.

In this weather activity which requires adult supervision, learners will get a chance to make a cloud right here on Earth!
