Underwater Fireworks
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate diffusion by creating underwater "fireworks" using food coloring, oil and water.

Fuel for Living Things
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe what happens when yeast cells are provided with a source of food (sugar). Red cabbage "juice" will serve as an indicator for the presence of carbon dioxide.

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

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

Egg-stra Strength
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will investigate the strength of egg shells.

Lager Lamp
Source Institutions
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.
Pepper Scatter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the forces at work in water. Learners experiment to find out what happens to pepper in water when they touch it with bar soap and liquid detergent.

Cake by Conduction
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, cook a cake using the heat produced when the cake batter conducts an electric current.

Egg Drop
Source Institutions
Perform this classic inertia demonstration to illustrate the transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy.

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

Amazing Marshmallows
Source Institutions
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.
Triboluminescence
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover what happens when they crush wintergreen-flavored candies in a very dark room.

One In The Hand
Source Institutions
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.

Rate of Solution Demonstration
Source Institutions
In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the factors that increase the rate of dissolution for a solid.
Why is the Sky Blue?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a "mini sky" in a glass of water in a dark room.

Glowing Pickle
Source Institutions
In this activity, high voltage is applied across a pickle to emit a yellow glow. This activity should only be conducted by skilled adults and is best suited as a demonstration.

Nano Ice Cream
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.

Conduction Countdown
Source Institutions
In this quick SciGirls activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design), learners will be introduced to the concept of thermal conductivity.

Can You Make Ice Cream in Two Minutes?
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners observe how liquid nitrogen both boils and freezes ingredients to make ice cream in two minutes.
