In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, volume, density, and bounce height.

In this activity (Lesson 1), learners work in groups to create tide simulations.

Have fun with additive mixing! Observe what happens when the three primary colors of light--red, green and blue--are mixed together, resulting in white light.

In this activity, learners explore how composites work by creating and testing their own composite for an imaginary company.

This three-part lab helps learners understand the essential principles governing diffusion and osmosis.

In this activity (pages 13-14), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.

This lesson is designed to serve as an introduction to the immune system. It can stand alone or it can lead into further studies of the immune system.

In this activity, learners create a sound visualizer from common materials to help see the vibrations created by sound. Sounds from a tone generator make salt dance on a vibrating balloon membrane.

This fun video explains how to make a batch of oobleck (or slime) and why this special substance is known as a "non-Newtonian" fluid. Watch as Mr.

In this activity, learners will explore how the human brain interprets environmental stimuli.

In this activity, learners experiment with gear motion to understand how gears work to change the amount of force, speed, or direction of motion in machines.

In this activity, learners use a compass, powerful magnet, and copper magnet wire to build a special generator known as a dynamo.

The purpose of this lab is to recognize that the answers to some of society's industrial challenges may lie right in our own backyards.

In this activity, learners investigate convection by using food coloring and water of different temperatures.

Learners place water and part of an antacid tablet in a film canister. The reaction creates a gas reaction that launches the film canister like a rocket.

In this activity, learners demonstrate the effects of cold-working (strain-hardening) and annealing. Learners discover that these processes change the load that a wire can support.

In this activity, learners cut wells in JELL-O© and load the wells with different detergent solutions.

In this activity about magnetism (page 4 of the PDF), learners will experiment with magnets and different objects to find out that not all metals are attracted to magnets.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation about the different causes of glacial melt.

In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.
