The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.

This simple activity uses paper and scissors to convey two key concepts to learners: the nanoscale is very small and working on the nanoscale requires special tools.

In this activity about ramps, learners explore and measure the rate at which spherical objects roll down a ramp.

Learners build a simple one-cell battery and use an ammeter to measure the flow of current.

In this kinesthetic activity that demonstrates pressure, learners act as air molecules in a "container" as defined by a rope.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

In this physics activity (page 12 of the PDF), learners explore potential and kinetic energy by rolling different sized marbles down an inclined plane.

Use this hands-on activity to demonstrate infrared and thermal radiation.

In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

In this activity, learners explore healthy choices related to the liquids they drink. The importance of water and milk as essential nutrients for a healthy body is the focus of the experience.

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 estimate how much water they think can be found in various locations on the Earth in all its states (solid, liquid, and gas) to discover the different water ratios in the Ea

In this activity, learners use a compass, powerful magnet, and copper magnet wire to build a special generator known as a dynamo.
