In this activity, learners construct a simple game to test their hand-eye coordination and steadiness of hand.

In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.

Learners test their "light-smarts" by playing a game called "Light Quest!" The game board represents an atom and each player represents an electron that has been bumped into the atom's outer unstable

"Exploring the Universe: Filtered Light" demonstrates how scientists can use telescopes and other tools to capture and filter different energies of light to study the universe.

In this activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.

In this activity, learners determine whether thermal energy can be used for work.

In this activity, learners create a toy that demonstrates the First Law of Thermodynamics or the Law of Conservation of Energy.

In this activity (on page 1), learners role play as atoms to explore how atoms can be rearranged to make different materials.

Learners attach an egg to a rubber-band bungee cord and drop the egg.

In this activity, learners heat ice and water of the same temperature to get a hands-on look at phase changes. This is an easy and inexpensive way to introduce states of matter and thermodynamics.

This fun astronomy activity allows learners to experience finding stars in the night sky that will eventually go supernova. This activity is perfect for a star party outdoors.

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of static electricity.

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

The "Exploring the Solar System: Magnetic Fields" activity shows participants how scientists can use tools to study the invisible magnetic fields of Earth, the Sun, and other objects in the universe.
