In this activity, learners make a simple spring-like scale using a rubber band instead of a spring, and calibrate the scale in newtons (N).

In this activity, learners make a black box device that serves as an excellent analogy to Rutherford's famous experiment in which he deduced the existence of the atomic nucleus.

In this demonstration, learners explore a variation of a Foucault pendulum, but upside down.

In this activity, learners overlap the three primary colors to see how all other colors are made.

In this activity, learners use heat to separate zinc and copper in a penny. This experiment demonstrates physical properties and how physical change (phase change) can be used to separate matter.

In this hands-on and feet-on excursion, learners take a science walk to visualize the planet's immense size and numerous structures, without the usual scale and ratio dimensions found in most textbook

Do you have a hard time matching paint swatches with your furniture? When you consider human perception, color is context dependent.

Testing magnets is always a fun pastime, but here, we're going beyond "will it attract the magnet?" In this activity, learners will investigate which materials allow magnetic fields to pass through or

We're told from a young age that we have 5 senses, but we have many more. One of which is our awareness of our own body part's orientation and position.

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.

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!

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

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

In this activity, learners construct a device out of a piezoelectric igniter, like those used as barbecue lighters.
