Cabbage Juice Indicator
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners make indicator solution from red cabbage. Then, learners test everyday foods and household substances using the cabbage juice indicator.

Turning the Air Upside Down: Warm Air is Less Dense than Cool Air
Learners cover a bottle with a balloon. When they immerse the bottle in warm water, the balloon inflates. When they immerse the bottle in a bowl of ice, the balloon deflates.

Cup Towers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore different ways to stack cups to meet a personal goal.

Hot & Cold
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment with hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, yeast, and baking soda to produce hot and cold reactions. Use this activity to demonstrate exothermic and endothermic reactions.

Seasons and Shadows: Investigate How Shadows Shift Throughout the Year
Source Institutions
In this activity you'll see how the sun's tilt on its axis changes the length of shadows. For example, why is your shadow longer in winter than in summer?

What is Blood Pressure?
Source Institutions
In this activity about heart health (on page 34 of the PDF), learners measure their own blood pressure using an electronic blood pressure monitor with a self-inflating cuff (included in cost of materi

Weather Vane
Source Institutions
In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

Moving On Up: Capillary Action 1
Source Institutions
Over the course of several days, learners explore the property of water that helps plants move water from roots to leaves or gives paper towels the capacity to soak up water.

Production of Carbon Dioxide
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners use common chemicals to produce carbon dioxide and observe its properties. This resource includes brief questions for learners to answer after the experiment.

Special Effects: Titanic and Beyond
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how geometry plays a role in perspective.

Changing Shadows
Source Institutions
In this sunny day, outdoor activity, learners observe changes in shadows over time. The activity also helps to develop a sense of the Earth's motion.

Roller Coaster Design
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Roller Coaster Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into g-force and acceleration.

What-a-cycle
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners act as water molecules and travel through parts of the water cycle to discover that it is more complex than just water moving from the ground to the atmosphere.

Tune Booster
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build unique sound enhancing inventions with items from around the house to amplify sound from their smart phone's speakers.

Wilberforce Pendulum
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a Wilberforce Pendulum, a special coupled pendulum in which energy is transferred between two modes of vibration, longitudinal ("bounce') and torsional ("twist"), on a

Spaghetti Bridge
Source Institutions
Learners explore the field of civil engineering by making a bridge using spaghetti as their primary building material.

A Crayon Rock Cycle- Sedimentary
Source Institutions
This is part 1 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. In this activity, learners explore how sedimentary rocks form.
Balloon Surprise
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover a trick to release the air out of a balloon without popping it.

Slowing the Flow
Source Institutions
In this experiment, pairs of learners explore how cold water affects circulation. The mammalian diving reflex (MDR) slows circulation when the body is exposed to cold water.
Gelatin Optic Fibers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make optical fibers out of strips of gelatin.
