Exploring How Liquids Behave
Source Institutions
Learners apply their knowledge from a previous study to identify different liquids--water, corn syrup, and vegetable oil.

Traveling Through Different Liquids
Source Institutions
Learners observe and record what happens when they manipulate bottles containing a liquid (water or corn syrup) and one or more objects (screw, nail, paper clip).

Waterbottle Membranophone
Source Institutions
In this activity, you'll use a straw, a water bottle and a paper tube to make an instrument that's very much like a saxophone.

Flubber: Make a polymer!
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF) features a recipe to create the stretchy polymer Flubber from Borax detergent, white glue, and water.

Exploring Materials: Thin Films
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a colorful bookmark using a super thin layer of nail polish on water. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

Diaper Dissection
Source Institutions
This is written as a display, but can easily be adapted to a hands-on activity. Learners discover how all the parts of a diaper work together to keep babies dry and comfortable.

Scent Tracking
Source Institutions
In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

Sink It
Source Institutions
Learners classify a variety of objects by their characteristics. They then design an experiment to determine which objects float or sink in water and add this characteristic to their classification.

Tiny Geyser Models
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 2), learners will construct tiny model geysers out of film canisters, warm water, and antacid seltzer tablets.

Float Your Boat
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

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

The Pressure's On
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners explore chemical reactions and their effects, including the kind of reaction in the human body that makes people burp!

Invent on the Spot
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design a device to solve a problem: how to get a ball out of a drain pipe.

Signs of Life
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine photo images of Earth taken from space, and attempt to identify and explain some of our planet's geological features.

Building A Storm Drain
Source Institutions
In this design challenge, learners design a storm drain cover that catches litter to protect waterways to learn about how local actions can have system-level effects.

Witches' Potion Demonstration
Source Institutions
In this chemistry demonstration, learners will discover that phenolphthalein is an acid/base indicator. One learner will read a poem about four witches making a potion.

3-2-1 POP!
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

Feel the Heat
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners design and build a solar hot water heater. Their goal is to create a heater that yields the highest temperature change.

Hot Cans and Cold Cans
Source Institutions
Learners apply their knowledge of heat transfer to design two cans - one that will retain heat and one that will cool down quickly.

Suminagashi: Floating Ink Paper Marbling
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners try to float ink on the surface of water to create a pattern and then capture it with absorbent paper.
