In this activity, learners make "solar cookies," edible models of the Sun's outer layers using sugar cookies and toppings.

In this activity learners will create paint out of natural materials. Explore your natural world (or your fridge) and find berries, leaves, or flowers to find a great base for your paint.

In this activity, learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "nano sand" and regular sand.

Ocean acidification is a problem that humans will have to deal with as we release more and more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

In this activity, learners will explore pendulum motion through scientific trials by using household items with different length strings.

In this activity, learners will make their own prism and use a glass of water to separate sunlight into different colors.

In this activity, learners create a colorful bookmark using a super thin layer of nail polish on water. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

In this activity, learners recreate a method of detecting and correcting errors in computers called 'parity'.

Doctors often send a sample of blood to a lab, to make sure their patients are healthy.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.

In this activity, learners explore the relative size of the Sun and Earth as well as the distance between them.

In this activity, participants will learn about how gigantic clouds of gas and dust in space, called nebulas, are formed. They'll create their own colorful model nebula using paint and a spinner.

In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.

In this activity, learners discover that a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

Learners mix liquid water with solid cornstarch. They investigate the slime produced, which has properties of both a solid and a liquid.

Learners will explore the concept of angular distance, and investigate why the moon appears to be the same size as the sun during a solar eclipse, despite the sun being much larger.

In this activity, learners use tonic water to detect ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun and explore the concept of fluorescence.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.

The Let's Do Chemistry "Build a Battery" activity lets participants learn how batteries work and how materials behave, change, and interact by building their own simple battery out of metal and felt w

In this chemistry demonstration, learners will discover that phenolphthalein is an acid/base indicator. One learner will read a poem about four witches making a potion.
