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

In this activity, learners explore how air warms when it condenses water vapor or makes clouds.

Learners construct a rocket from a balloon propelled along a guide string.

In this activity related to climate change, learners examine albedo and the ice albedo feedback effect as it relates to snow, ice, and the likely results of reduced snow and ice cover on global temper

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

Learners create a small explosion by collecting hydrogen and oxygen gas together and squeezing them into a flame.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

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

Design a vessel that tests the limits of wind power given a set of off the shelf and recycled materials.

This is an activity about reaction times. Just how quickly must an NHL goalie respond to save a shot, and how does your reaction time compare?

Is this activity concentrating on physical science, learners build their very own miniature hovercraft out of a paper cup. Using it, they can explore the concepts of friction and force.

In this physics activity about rotational inertia, learners use a spinning top made out of a bottle cap and a nail to explore how changing the axis of rotation affects how the energy is used.

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 is an activity about friction as well as kinetic and potential energy.

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

In this activity, learners will discover how to find the "sweet spots" on a baseball bat. Whenever an object is struck, it vibrates in response.

In this activity, learners light an LED with five cents. Learners use two different metals and some sour, salty water to create a cheap battery.

When baseball was in its infancy, the ball had plenty of bounce. Today's baseball may not seem to have bounce to it at all; if you drop a ball on the field it won't bounce back.

In this math activity related to light, learners assemble a photometer and use it to estimate the power output of the Sun.
