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 simple demonstration, learners investigate the properties of air pressure. Learners place an index card on top of a glass full of water, then invert the glass.

In this activity, learners discover the principles of edible glass by making a supersaturated sugar solution.

In this activity, learners discover that sand is the major ingredient in glass.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Behind the Scenes with Chemistry), learners make some special effects, including snow and breaking glass, with supplies found in the home.

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 edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.

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

This is a quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

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.

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

In this optics activity, learners examine how a transparent material such as glass or water can actually reflect light better than any mirror.

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 display shows the dangers of acid rain on buildings and other structures as two concrete bunny rabbits are disintegrated by sulfuric acid. Learners scrape chalk onto the concrete bunnies.

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 simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

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

Learners explore water adhesion and learn about why water molecules are more strongly attracted to some substances than others.
