Exploring Materials: Thin Films
Source Institutions
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.

Cover Your Mouth
Source Institutions
In this health activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will discover why covering their mouth and nose while sneezing is so important.

Making a Battery from a Potato
Source Institutions
In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.
Soaring Towers: Building with Recycled Materials
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

Twelve at a Time
Source Institutions
As learners play this game, they build skills in area, perimeter, multiples and factors. They take turns making rectangles with 12 squares on the grid.

Twist and Spout
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make their own "tornado" using two soda bottles and water.

As Straight as a Pole
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

Morning Star and Evening Star
Source Institutions
This demonstration activity models how Venus appears from Earth.
Magnets are Marvelous
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners investigate magnets. Learners discover that some magnets are stronger than others and that magnets have north and south poles.

Silly Putty Investigation
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 7 of PDF), learners explore how Silly Putty was first invented and then attempt to make a batch of their own.

It's All About Birds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create their own bird species using arts and crafts materials. The bird call recordings are not online so the introduction activity can't be done, but everything else can.

Secret Message
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore acid and bases as they create their own invisible ink out of baking soda and grape juice.

Homemade Bath Fizzies
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make their own bath bomb fizzies and experience what happens when they mix a base and an acid.

Walking Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will be working with a sort of scientific magic, capillary action! They will set up 3 cups of water of different colors, connect them with paper towels and wait.

Kitchen Jamboree
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe, explore and investigate vibrating instruments in everyday places and create music in unique ways.

Solar Cell Simulation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.
The Sharp Eyes of a Naturalist
Source Institutions
In this creative activity, learners will practice looking carefully to observe details and to become familiar with dioramas as a method for displaying naturalistic scenes.

Erupting Fizz
Source Institutions
This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

Safer with Science-Masks
Source Institutions
Why should we wear masks? Do masks work? Do some masks work better than others? Learners find out in this activity.

Finding Colors
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners combine acids and bases in a universal indicator to create five different colors.
