Penny Drop
Source Institutions
In this quick activity about the properties of water (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Malformed Frogs), learners will use an eyedropper to slowly place one drop of water at a time onto a penny,

Salt 'n Lighter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

Physics Over the Sink: Water Glass Magic
Source Institutions
In this simple demonstration, learners investigate the properties of air pressure. Learners place an index card on top of a glass full of water, then invert the glass.

Starch Slime
Source Institutions
Learners mix liquid water with solid cornstarch. They investigate the slime produced, which has properties of both a solid and a liquid.

Thirsty Candle
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore the dynamics of air pressure by using a candle, a cup, and a dish of water.

Swirling Milk
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners prepare two petri dishes, one filled with water and one filled with milk.

DIY Elephant Toothpaste
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will experiment with catalysts to create an at-home version of elephant toothpaste.

Sock It To Me
Source Institutions
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.

Dancing Spaghetti
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners use spaghetti to explore density and chemical reactions.

Sublimation Bubbles
Source Institutions
"Sublimation Bubbles" allows learners to explore how some solid materials, such as dry ice, can phase change directly from their solid to gaseous form.
