In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the factors that increase the rate of dissolution for a solid.

Learners use a mortar and pestle to extract clove oil from cloves using denatured alcohol. They put this oil on paper, which they can take home.

In this activity, learners explore the forces at work in water. Learners experiment to find out what happens to pepper in water when they touch it with bar soap and liquid detergent.

In this activity/demo, learners investigate biobarcodes, a nanomedical technology that allows for massively parallel testing that can assist with disease diagnosis.

This activity/demo introduces learners to aerogel, a glass nanofoam. Learners discover how aerogel is made and how well it insulates as well as learn about aerogel's other unique properties.

In this activity, learners use their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.

In this chemistry activity, learners observe a combustion reaction and deduce the components necessary for the reaction to occur.

This is a demonstration you can use to show learners how valves and pumps work in concert to move blood through the circulatory system.

Demonstrate the Bernoulli Principle using simple materials on a small or large scale.

In this investigation of reaction kinetics, learners alter the amount of iodate solution mixed with the same amount of starch solution.

In this chemistry demonstration, acid rain is simulated in a petri dish.

In this demonstration about force and motion, learners will explore the forces that affect a pendulum A simple model pendulum comprised of a ball and string demonstrates how pendulums work as well as

Learners combine hydrogen peroxide with three different forms of potato: raw chunks, ground chunks, and boiled chunks.

In this optics activity, learners examine how polarized light can reveal stress patterns in clear plastic.

Is a square stronger than a triangle? Use tongue depressors to build simple shapes. Then apply a little weight to them and see what happens!

Learners add acid rain (nitric acid) to two cups that represent lakes. One cup contains limestone gravel and the other contains granite gravel.

In this trick, hold your hand over a burning candle without getting burned, by reflecting and transmitting the light of two candles. This activity is best suited as a demonstration.

The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.

In this geology activity learners build a "squeeze box," which allows them to compress layers of sediment. This is a great way to investigate folding and faulting in the Earth.

Learners complete two simple experiments to prove the existence of air and air pressure which surround us.
