"Molecules in Motion" explores how materials behave and change in a vacuum.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.

This is an online activity about what would happen if we could travel at or near the speed of light.

In this activity, learners explore the flexibility of polymer chains by pushing sharpened pencils through a Ziploc bag.

In this chemistry meets cooking activity, learners make carbonated, vanilla ice cream using dry ice and denatured ethanol, which are both inexpensive and accessible.

In this data activity, learners analyze data from coral reef snapshots taken by scientists at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.

In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

Cool off in the heat with this project! Learners use simple materials to build a fan that runs on a motor.

In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

What happens when two wave pulses meet in the middle? Send waves down a spring to watch them travel and interact.

This activity helps students learn how computers "compress" text by identifying repeating patterns of letters, words, and phrases.

In this activity related to Archimedes' Principle, learners use water displacement to compare the volume of an expanded gummy bear with a gummy bear in its original condition.

In this activity, learners work in groups to create a time line representing significant moments in their lives.

In this activity, learners explore the principles of magnetism by observing how various materials interact with magnets and superconductors.

In this activity, learners use coverslips to collect organisms from a pond, estuary or marine environment and then examine what they have caught with a microscope.

In this design challenge, learners will use computational thinking to design their own board game.

In this activity, learners listen to songs and decode hidden messages based on the same principle as a modem. As a final challenge, learners decode the binary messages in a music video.

In this activity, learners work in teams to simulate the process used by Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to determine the location of a fallen meteorite in Antarctica.

In this activity, learners bake cookies by following different recipes to better understand genetic mutations. Everyone in the group bakes the same type of cookie: chocolate chip.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.
