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

In this activity related to flight, learners build a tiny stream channel to investigate how fluids (air and water) change speed as they flow between and around objects.

In this activity, learners will explore the physics of air by making a snake kite.

Play keep away from your cat by using a static charge to suspend a piece of tinsel in the air. This Exploratorium produced activity also features videos to help create and learn about this phenomenon.

In this activity, learners will explore the physics of liquids and gas by playing with both! Learners of any age use their own breath to move drops of water across a smooth wax paper surface.

In this activity, learners will make and launch feather rockets. Lerners will use science process skils such as making predictions and measuring while launching the rockets.

In this activity, learners make plates levitate! Learners build "hovercrafts" using simple materials to explore friction and motion.

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.

To understand how skaters turn in midair, try this little experiment! Individuals can do this activity alone, but it works better with a partner.

Learners follow the template to build and fly a paper helicopter.

In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will--using nothing more than a coat hanger and some string--explore and understand sound energy and how it moves.

In this activity, learners explore a surprising method for calculating the mathematical constant pi, known as Buffon's Needle.

En esta actividad, los participantes explorarán las fuerzas de gravedad y la resistencia al aire usando paracaídas.

In this activity, learners will construct an air cannon as a model for the human ear.

In this demonstration/activity, learners observe as a regular size marshmallow is blown through a tube made from a manila file folder.

In this trick, learners discover how to stick a straw to the palm of their hand, window door, or anywhere using static electricity.

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

In this is activity about sound and vibration, learners create their own 'flutes' with drinking straws, then investigate how changing the length of the straw affects the sounds that are produced.

In this activity, learners make their own "tornado" using two soda bottles and water.
