In this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.

Light painting is a creative activity that involves creating striking images and illusions using a camera, a light source, and a little practice.

In this experiment, learners use JOY liquid detergent and glycerin to make the largest bubble they can that lasts 15 seconds.

In this activity, participants will learn about how gigantic clouds of gas and dust in space, called nebulas, are formed. They'll create their own colorful model nebula using paint and a spinner.

In this activity, learners manipulate film to create homemade movies. Scratch Film, also known as Direct Animation, is the process of drawing and scratching designs directly onto film.

In this activity, learners use binoculars (or a telescope) to identify and track sunspots. If using binoculars, learners need a pair that can be secured on a tripod.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

In this outdoor activity, learners cut through and investigate rotten logs and then make log-profile puzzles for each other.

In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.

In this activity, participants will learn how stars form from the dust and gas that exists in space clumping together.

In this activity, learners create a marble maze that contains sensors. As a metal marble triggers the sensors, the Pico Cricket turns on lights or spins motors.

In this activity/demo, learners examine a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics the behavior of the gecko foot.

Learners measure a bottle full of air, and then use a vacuum pump to remove the air. When they re-weigh the bottle, learners find the mass is about 0.8g less.

This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.

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

"What's in the Water" lets participants use tools to solve the mystery- what chemicals and compounds are in a sample of water?

Learners observe different paper samples under ordinary room light and under a black light to learn some of the chemical differences between different types of paper.
