In this activity, learners create music from a series of bottles filed with water. Learners discover that the sound produced by each bottle depends on the amount of water in the bottle.

In this hands-on activity, learners make the world's simplest Cartesian diver, using only a plastic bottle, some water, and a condiment packet.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

On an airplane trip, learners have an opportunity to investigate the properties of air pressure at different altitudes.

In this dramatic activity/demonstration about phase change and condensation, learners place an aluminum can filled with about two tablespoons of water on a stove burner.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate the effect of the weight of air over our heads.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty 2-liter bottles and hot tap water to illustrate the effect of heat on pressure.

In this online activity, learners see simulations of how processes shape the Earth, and see estimates of how long these processes take.

In this activity (12th activity on the page), learners conduct an experiment to demonstrate how muscles are constantly feeding information to the brain about what they are doing.

In this multi-part activity learners examine non-point water pollution.

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

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.

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

In this activity, learners discover how sweating makes us feel cooler. Learners put on one damp sock and one dry sock and sit in front of a fan.

“Exploring Earth: Rising Sea” is a hands-on activity demonstrating ways to use topographical mapping techniques to track changes in sea level. The activity is connected to current NASA research.

In this optics activity, learners use glass and water to demonstrate total internal reflection (TIR).

In this activity, learners will put a set of containers in order by capacity. Would the tallest container hold more or less water than the wide, short one?

In this math lesson, learners rotate through six estimating and measuring centers. First, learners read the book, "Room for Ripley" by Stuart J.

This online interactive has three activities in the NanoLab (press the upper right button): Build, Zoom, and Transform.

In this activity (located at the bottom of the page), learners investigate soil and explore the creatures that live in it.
