In this activity on page 6 of the PDF, learners dissolve Epsom salt in water and discover that the resulting solution can be used to create a work of art.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners experiment with the interesting designs that can be made by painting on plaster.

In this activity, learners explore the history of making objects from glass and artistry of Dale Chihuly.

In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

In this activity, learners discover that sand is the major ingredient in glass.

In this activity, learners thread colored beads onto string. Each beach represent a process of the water cycle.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

In this hands-on activity, children create their own kites that can fly indoors. Learners are exposed to basic concepts of gravity and air resistance.

In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

Learners assemble a hot-air balloon from tissue paper. The heated air (from a heat gun) inside the balloon is less dense than the surrounding air and causes the balloon to float.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing their very own bagpipe instrument.

In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.

Learners develop awareness and understanding of the daily air quality using the Air Quality Index (AQI) listed in the newspaper or online.

Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.

In this two part activity, learners become draft detectives by constructing their own draft catchers to detect drafts around windows or doors.

In this hands-on activity, learners determine the types of chemical reactions achieved when combining different household products.

In this hands-on science experiment, students combine their understanding of the different states of matter and the characteristics of various chemical reactions.
