In this activity, learners use a flashlight, a glass of water, and some milk to examine why the sky is blue and sunsets are red.

Mighty Molecules
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use marshmallows and gum drops to construct seven models of molecules. Learners classify (solid, liquid or gas) and draw diagrams of the molecules.

Lifting Lemon
Source Institutions
In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a lemon slice appears to magically levitate within a pint glass.

Making Naked Eggs: Eggs Without Shells
Source Institutions
This is an activity about acid-base reactions using eggs and vinegar. Learners place eggs inside a container of vinegar and leave to soak overnight.

Close, Closer, Closest
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners perform an experiment that models a chromatography-like process called electrophoresis, a process used to analyze DNA.

The Thousand-Yard Model
Source Institutions
This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

Egg-Citing Physics
Source Institutions
In this demonstration about momentum, use physics to distinguish between a hard-boiled egg and a raw egg without cracking them open.

The Adaptation Game
Source Institutions
To convey the concept of how animals adapt to survive, this game asks learners to imagine what adaptations a given animal would need to live in a certain environment—including environments where such

Natural Indicators
Source Institutions
Learners combine different plant solutions -- made from fruits, vegetables, and flowers -- with equal amounts of vinegar (acid), water (neutral), and ammonia (base).
