In this activity, learners test different food items by timing how long it takes each liquid to slide from the top of a ramp to the bottom.

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Roller Coaster Design Activity), learners will use food cans of many different properties (sizes, shapes, and weights) and set two cans on their sides at

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this activity, learners will explore the density of an object in water. Learners will compare what happens to fruits and vegetables in regular and salt water.

In this science trick, learners get an egg to stand-up on its long-axis vertical to a table's top.

In this demonstration/activity, learners observe as a regular size marshmallow is blown through a tube made from a manila file folder.

In this demonstration, adult learners create a lava lamp using beer and nuts! Use this pub-themed activity to demonstrate the effects of buoyancy and bubbles.

In this activity (located on pages 23-24 of the PDF), learners are introduced to structural engineering and encouraged to practice goal-oriented building.

In this physics activity, learners attempt to lift a jar full of rice using only a spoon.

Perform this classic inertia demonstration to illustrate the transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy.

In this activity, learners explore static electricity and electrical charges while experimenting with an inflated balloon, unflavored gelatin powder, and a wool sweater.

In this physics activity (page 14 of the PDF), learners gain a better understanding of how friction and mass affect objects by comparing the rotational inertia of raw and hard-boiled eggs.

This is an activity about friction as well as kinetic and potential energy.

In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to insert a straw the furthest into a potato.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of air pressure. They will watch as marshmallows inside a bottle expand as a vacuum pump removes air from the bottle.

In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to break a raw egg just by squeezing it. Learners will be shocked by their inability to complete the deceivingly simple challenge.

Learners build structures from spaghetti and marshmallows to determine which structures are able to handle the greatest load.

In this activity, learners conduct a series of hands-on experiments that demonstrate how the working of plants' veins, known as capillary action, enables water to travel throughout the length of a pla

In this engineering activity, learners construct sturdy geodesic structures out of gumdrops and toothpicks. Use this activity to explore engineering principles as well as sturdy shapes and triangles.

Take the two-straw challenge and discover how pressure affects vacuums! In this activity, learners experiment with drinking through one and two straws, comparing the amount of liquid they can drink.
