In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

In this demonstration, learners observe as a bottle is placed on a table with wooden hoop balanced on top and a pencil balanced on top of the hoop.

In this activity, learners investigate diffusion by creating underwater "fireworks" using food coloring, oil and water.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure. A "diver" constructed out of a piece of straw and Blu-Tack will bob inside a bottle filled with water.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of air pressure. They will watch as marshmallows inside a bottle expand as a vacuum pump removes air from the bottle.

In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.

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

In this activity, learners explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.

In this activity, learners create models of erosion and floods and learn to recognize both in their environment.

In this activity, learners investigate how inkjet printers produce tiny, precise drops of ink.

This three-part activity consists of an activity that groups of learners develop themselves, a given procedure, and an optional demonstration.

In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners discover that a magnet falls more slowly through a metallic tube than it does through a nonmetallic tube.

In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.

In this activity, learners surprisingly pop balloons without touching them using orange peels. This Mr.
