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 will use string and salt to lift an ice cube out of a glass of water. Salt depresses the freezing point of water, allowing it to melt around the string and refreeze.

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 concept of density by pouring 5 different liquids into a jar. Food coloring is added if needed to give each liquid a distinct color.

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

In this activity (on pages 4-5), learners make fake snow by adding water to the super-absorbant chemical from diapers, sodium polyacrylate.

In this activity, educators can demonstrate how the nanoscale arrangement of atoms dramatically impacts a material’s macroscale behavior.

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.

In this activity, learners discover that the way a material behaves on the macroscale is affected by its structure on the nanoscale.

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