In this optics activity, learners discover how they can make glass objects "disappear." Learners submerge glass objects like stirring rods into a beaker of Wesson™ oil to explore how the principles of

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF, learners use glue instead of glass to create artwork that can be hung in a window.

In this activity, learners explore ray optics. Learners discover that they can use a magnifying glass to create an upside-down image.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a handkerchief holds water in an upside-down glass.

In this activity, learners see how many coins they can add to a full glass of water before the water overflows.

In this activity, learners compare plant and animal life in different habitats including a sidewalk crack and lawn. Learners sort human-made materials and natural materials found in each habitat.

Make a quick and easy filter from household materials. A filter will catch any solids suspended in a liquid and filter them out. By using a filter, learners can discover amazing things.

In this activity, learners explore the real science behind an egg drop "magic trick." Learners will wow their families by harnessing gravity, friction and motion to make 3 eggs fall off of their pedes

In this activity, learners explore inertia as they attempt to whip a strip of paper out from under two coins dangling on the rim of a water glass.

In this activity, learners compare different types of salt crystals under a magnifying glass.

In this activity, learners examine their tongue and taste buds.

In this activity, learners create a "mini sky" in a glass of water in a dark room.

In this activity related to light and perception, learners use a pinhole in an index card as a magnifying glass to help their eye focus on a nearby object.

In this activity, learners are challenged to lift a floating ice cube out of a glass of water using just one end of a piece of string.

This activity gets learners looking at 6-sided shapes in nature, including the cells of a beehive, as well as other shapes.

This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

This activity teaches combustion as the interaction of a fuel source and oxygen.
