In this quick activity, Dracula has a hole in his house and learners help solve the problem by using a mirror and protractor to reflect incoming light out of his house.

We don't normally view people upside down and so our brains aren't accustomed to it.

When you teeth clatter, they make quite the racket disproportionately to how much they actually sound to someone else.

In this activity, learners discover that some plastics will shrink when you get them hot. Learners bake polystyrene in a regular oven and discover what happens.

In this simulation, learners act out each digestive function of the organs, tissues, and cells in the digestive tract.

Build a hydrometer (measures the density of a liquid) using a pipet or eyedropper.

Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!

Learners use a candle to investigate the products of combustion. When a glass rod is held over a lit candle, the candle flame deposits carbon on the rod.

This science activity demonstrates the dominant eye phenomena. What does your brain do when it sees two images that conflict?

In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.

In this activity about light and perception, learners discover how a flash of light can create a lingering image called an "afterimage" on the retina of the eye.

In this activity, learners use three types of cheesy snacks--cheese balls, cheese puffs, and Cheetos--to learn about polymers.

In this activity, learners create an origami model of DNA, demonstrating its double helix structure.

In this experiment, learners float colored ice cubes in hot and cold water.

In this activity, learners explore accuracy and precision.

In this hands-on activity, learners make the world's simplest Cartesian diver, using only a plastic bottle, some water, and a condiment packet.

Learners add acid rain (nitric acid) to two cups that represent lakes. One cup contains limestone gravel and the other contains granite gravel.

In this trick, hold your hand over a burning candle without getting burned, by reflecting and transmitting the light of two candles. This activity is best suited as a demonstration.

In this optics activity, learners explore diffraction by adding wax blocks to a ripple tank. The wedge-shaped blocks act as obstacles that the wave must bend around.

In this open-ended multicultural lab activity, learners investigate the effectiveness of herbal remedies.
