Create 3D glasses and use them to explore color, light and optics. Fool your brain into 'seeing' three dimensions on a flat surface!

In this activity, learners will experiment with water- and air-filled balloons as a way of dampening sound before it reaches their ears.

In this activity, learners make their own bath bomb fizzies and experience what happens when they mix a base and an acid.

This activity provides step-by-step instructions on how to build a rain stick, a musical instrument originating in South America.

In this math activity, learners experiment with the concept of symmetry.

In this activity, learners explore the concepts of density and basic chemical reactions as they create a homemade lava lamp effect using water, oil, food coloring, and Alka-Seltzer tablets.

Learners will explore the chemistry of mucous and its importance to our health by following a process to make their own replica "snot." The activity includes a time and age recommendation, a materials

In this activity, learners create music from a series of bottles filed with water. Learners discover that the sound produced by each bottle depends on the amount of water in the bottle.

In this optics activity, learners use everyday materials to make a color wheel. When learners spin the wheel like a top, they will be surprised to see all the colors mixing together to appear white.

Use grape juice, baking soda, water and vinegar to make acid and base indicator paper! This activity contains a recipe and instructions for the indicator paper.

In this activity, learners will discover how to find the "sweet spots" on a baseball bat. Whenever an object is struck, it vibrates in response.

In this activity, learners will explore how the voice works and feel the vibrations produced by vocal cords.
