Yeast Balloons: Can biochemistry blow up a balloon?
Source Institutions
Using yeast, sugar, and water, learners create a chemical reaction which produces carbon dioxide (CO2) gas inside a 2-liter bottle. They use this gas to inflate a balloon.

Earth Atmosphere Composition
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.

Nuclear Fusion
Source Institutions
This simple and engaging astronomy activity explains nuclear fusion and how radiation is generated by stars, using marshmallows as a model.

Erupting Fizz
Source Institutions
This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.
It's A Gas!
Source Institutions
Visitors mix water and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in a large flask. They then add citric acid to the mixture and stopper the flask. The resulting reaction creates carbon dioxide gas.

Make a Terrarium
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.
