This kinesthetic science demonstration introduces learners to four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

In this activity, learners add different liquids to water and apply their working definition of “dissolving” to their observations.

In this activity, learners explore Boyle's Law and discover that water will boil at room temperature if its pressure is lowered.

Lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies are a habitat for lots of living things, big and small.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can participate to learn about conservation of gas. This is one of the classic experiments using baking soda and vinegar.

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 use pegboard and straws to build a three-dimensional model of the periodic table.

In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will use milk and a few other basic ingredients to create a chemical change to make a color wheel.

Whether it's the genetic code, an ancient language, or patterns of light in a distant galaxy, scientists often have to play the role of decoder.

In this activity best suited as a demonstration, learners observe that when a piece of iron gets too hot, it loses its ability to be magnetized.

In this demonstration (9th on the page), learners explore eyewitness memory and how memories differ amongst individuals. While the rest of the group is minding their own business (i.e.

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

In this activity, learners compare the ancient Egyptian system of measurement, which was based on body lengths, to the customary and metric systems used today.

In this Spanish-language chemistry activity, learners use simple materials to explore how fire extinguishers work to put out fires.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off), learners will use the ever-popular soda geyser experiment to test the reactivity of the various sugar candies or mints.

In this classification activity, learners will learn one way of organizing plants and animals.

In this activity, learners recreate the lunar phases using the frosting from Oreo® cookies and place the phases in order. Round cream cheese crackers can also be used if cookies are not an option.

In this activity, learners explore how two cylinders that look the same may roll down a ramp at different rates.

This is an activity in which learners explore the effects of gravity, motion and momentum while creating art.

Learners investigate how the temperature of water affects its density.
