Handheld Water Bottle Rocket & Launcher
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build handheld rockets and launchers out of PVC pipes and plastic bottles. Use this activity to demonstrate acceleration, air pressure, and Newton's Laws of Motion.

Number of Mentos vs. Height: Soda Geyser Series #5
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine how many Mentos are needed to make the tallest possible soda geyser.

Weather Vane
Source Institutions
In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

Soda Geyser
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off), learners will use the ever-popular soda geyser experiment to test the reactivity of the various sugar candies or mints.

Temperature vs. Height: Soda Geyser Series #6
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine how temperature will affect the height of a soda geyser.

Rain Machine (Solar Still)
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in groups to build simple solar stills filled with salt water. After the stills are complete, learners observe what happens when they place the stills in the sun.

Soda Brand vs. Height Experiment: Soda Geyser Series #4
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine which brand of soda makes the best (highest) soda geyser.

Pot-in-Pot Refrigeration
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2 of PDF), learners create a low-tech refrigerator that requires no electricity to keep food from spoiling.

Weather Vane and Anemometer
Source Institutions
In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

Water Rocket Launch
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.
