Plankton Races
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

Opti-Top
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create an optical illusion top. Learners will explore color mixing, physics and design through this activity.

Our Sense of Sight: Color Vision
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

Burst a Bubble
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their own bubble solution. Learners will explore chemistry, geometry and trial and error through this activity.

Good Vibrations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment with their voices and noisemakers to understand the connections between vibrations and the sounds created by those vibrations.

The Legend of the Flying Frog
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners listen to a story about a made-up endangered species--a flying frog! Learners print out six story pages and then draw the pictures and write the captions.

Perspectives: Powers of 10
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners complete a series of drawing activities to explore scale and powers of 10. Learners first trace each other on 1-meter-square pieces of paper.

What Color is Your Air Today?
Learners develop awareness and understanding of the daily air quality using the Air Quality Index (AQI) listed in the newspaper or online.

Horton Senses Something Small
Source Institutions
In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.

Witches' Potion Demonstration

In this chemistry demonstration, learners will discover that phenolphthalein is an acid/base indicator. One learner will read a poem about four witches making a potion.

Colors of Stars
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe colors in the flame of a burning candle to explore connections between matter, light, color and temperature -- basic concepts of matter and energy.

Eat Like a Bird
Source Institutions
Birds' beaks are designed to allow birds to get the most of whatever food they need. In this activity, learners get an idea of how different beak shapes suit different food sources.

Gymnast
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners build a toy with a figure that spins around like a gymnast on the high bar.

Secret Goldenrod Messages
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners write invisible messages on goldenrod paper, and make the message appear and disappear using acids and bases.

Fossil Dig Site
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

Be a Plumber
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 6 of the PDF), learners explore the ways people access water in their homes.

Geometry Construction: Polyhedral Playthings
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

Make a Dinosaur
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs" by Byron Barton to understand some background information about dinosaurs.

Bobbing Eyeballs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple materials and basic tools to construct a special toy to explore pendulums. As the head of the toy bobs one way, the eyeballs bob the other way.

Applesauce
Source Institutions
In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 109: The Perfect Pancake, learners make applesauce to explore irreversible change.
