In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

Test the buoyancy of an aluminum foil boat and an aluminum foil ball. Why does the same material in different shapes sink or float?

Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

This activity gives caregivers and their children an opportunity to practice scientific ways of thinking that are developmentally appropriate for early learners.

In this activity, learners discover that there is space between molecules even in a cup "full" of water. They first fill a cup with marbles, and then add sand to fill the gaps between the marbles.

Learners experiment with a 2-liter plastic bottle containing water and four “divers." The divers consist of open, transparent containers with the opening points downward.

In this chemistry challenge, learners identify an unknown white powder by comparing it with common household powders.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this activity, learners cut out and assemble wheels to explore how variations in fish body structures (mouth shape/position/teeth, body shape, tail shape, and coloration patterns) allow fish to sur

In this activity, learners explore how nanotechnology is being used to create new types of protective fabrics.

In this experiment, learners test multiple food items to see if they are an acid or base using an indicator solution created with red cabbage.

In two separate bags, learners mix water with Epsom salts and detergent.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

Learners are challenged to create solutions that conduct electricity and make a buzzer buzz (or an LED light up).
