In this physics activity, learners experiment with the attractive and repulsive power of magnets.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a handkerchief holds water in an upside-down glass.

In this activity, learners make their own rock candy. Crystals will grow from a piece of string hanging in a cup of sugar water. The edible crystals may take up to a week to form.

In this simple activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a crystal garden using salt, water, and a brick.

In this yummy chemistry activity which requires adult supervision, learners use sugar and water to explore how crystals form.

In this activity, learners mix water, cooking oil, and liquid food coloring to create beautiful colored designs in a cup. Use this activity to explore liquid density and solubility.

In this activity, learners explore the concepts of density and basic chemical reactions as they create a homemade lava lamp effect using water, oil, food coloring, and Alka-Seltzer tablets.

In this activity, learners try pouring water out of a regular cup and a miniature cup. It’s harder than it sounds! Learners discover that different forces dominate at different size scales.

In this activity, learners explore inertia as they attempt to whip a strip of paper out from under two coins dangling on the rim of a water glass.

Use grape juice, baking soda, water and vinegar to make acid and base indicator paper! This activity contains a recipe and instructions for the indicator paper.

In this activity, learners compare frog eggs to chicken eggs to better understand why frog eggs need water. Learners compare a boiled chicken egg to "frog eggs" represented by boiled tapioca.

In this activity, learners will "paint" their own crystal artwork by creating a picture with a super saturated salt solution.

In this activity, learners find out what happens when they cover leaves with pieces of black construction paper. This activity shows learners that plants need sunlight to survive.

Don't scream for ice cream -- make it with milk, sugar, flavoring and some 'salt-water' ice. Discover the chemistry of ice cream by creating your own.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners create a collage by using vinegar to transfer color pictures from a newspaper onto a piece of white paper.

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF, learners dissolve Epsom salt in water and discover that the resulting solution can be used to create a work of art.

In this activity on page 9 of the PDF, learners make their own paint using chalk as a pigment and glue and water as binders. This activity introduces learners to special mixtures called suspensions.

In this activity, learners create a water prism to break light into the seven colors of the rainbow.

In this activity, learners will discover how the thin layers of amphibians' skin allow water and other chemicals to pass through it.

In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about crystals by growing their very own.
