Clues About Clouds
Source Institutions
In this weather activity which requires adult supervision, learners will get a chance to make a cloud right here on Earth!

The Pulse of Gravity
Source Institutions
In this astronomy activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will examine the effects of gravity on a person’s pulse and explore how gravity can differ from planet to planet.

Rollback
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will make a can that will roll back after it has been rolled away to observe the interactions of kinetic and potential energy.

Fingerprint Identification
Source Institutions
In this crime science activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners will explore the uniqueness of fingerprints. The will learn components of fingerprints as well as why fingerprints are left behind.

How Plants Grow
Source Institutions
In this biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore how plants turn sunlight into food through a process called photosynthesis.

Rainbow Density Experiment
Source Institutions
In this colorful activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will make a multicolor density column by using different concentrations of sugar solutions.

Composting Bioreactor
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 19 of the PDF) learners will create a soda bottle bioreactor by exploring the science of composting, comparing variables such as reactor design, moisture content, and nutrient r

Egg Drop
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will design a protective package for an egg that will allow the egg to withstand a fall without cracking.

Build an Electromagnet
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build a simple electromagnet. They will test variables that would make the electromagnet stronger.

DNA From an Onion
Source Institutions
In this genetics activity, learners extract DNA from an onion, using detergent solution, a food processor, and rubbing alcohol. They will also discuss genetic engineering of plants.

Spaghetti Bridge
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners investigate the differences between the strength of bridges made from flat and round building materials.

Candy Dish Natural Selection
Source Institutions
In this yummy biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners participate in a demonstration of natural selection.

Cover Your Mouth
Source Institutions
In this health activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will discover why covering their mouth and nose while sneezing is so important.

Big Wave
Source Institutions
This is an activity about waves. Using marbles, paper clips and rubber bands, learners explore how waves behave.

Checking For Starch
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will observe a chemical change, specifically what happens to iodine when it is applied to ripe and unripe apples.

Plaster of Paris
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will observe both a chemical and a physical change.

Tumble Wing Walkalong Glider
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will construct their own walkalong glider. They will explore how air, though invisible, surrounds and affects other objects.

Wrap It Up!
Source Institutions
In this Energy and Environment activity (page 9 of the PDF), learners calculate the mass of a piece of gum, compare it to the mass of the gum's packaging, and then create a bar graph of the results.

Glow in the Dark Jello
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make homemade jello that glows under a blacklight. They will learn about quinine, an ingredient in tonic water that is fluorescent.

Shaving Cream Marbling
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create beautiful greeting cards by marbling with shaving cream and food dye. They will explore the chemistry behind the art of marbling.
