In this hands-on activity, learners make the world's simplest Cartesian diver, using only a plastic bottle, some water, and a condiment packet.

This activity (8th activity on the page) tests learners' ability to identify things using only the sense of hearing.

Learners build a small rocket using a matchstick and a piece of aluminum foil. A second, lit match launches the match rocket. This activity involves fire; adult supervision required.

This activity is designed to let learners measure their reaction time or response time to something they see.

In this easy demonstration (3rd on the page), learners explore depth perception by conducting a test with two pencils.

This is an online game recreating the longest ever (at that point in time) freefall jump by Air Force Captain Joe Kittinger.

In this activity, learners create models of ionic compounds and observe the chemical formula of binary molecules they have created.

In this activity, challenge learners to predict and investigate how many water drops they can fit on one penny.

In this activity, learners play NOAA's Carbon Tracker game and discover ways to keep track of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the world.

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use pennies to test their hearing acuity.

In this demonstration (18th on the page), learners conduct a simple test to explore how the cornea refracts light, which is further bent by the eye lens through a process known as accommodation.

In this activity, learners explore a scale by comparing objects, which look similar but have different weights. Learners predict and then measure the weights of various objects using a scale.

In this online activity, learners experience the thrill of pickle making, and explore how a cucumber becomes a pickle.

In this activity/demonstration, learners observe what happens when two ping pong balls are suspended in the air by a hair dryer. Use this activity to demonstrate how rain drops grow by coalescence.
