This is a simple and fun activity for learners to explore water and colors.

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF), learners mix oil and water. Then, they add soap and observe what changes! The activity demonstrates how oil and water don't mix, except when soap is added.

In this activity, learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "nano sand" and regular sand.

Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

This activity provides instructions for using cornstarch and water to make an ooze which has the properties of both a solid and liquid.

Learners discover that soap can be used to power a boat. Learners make a simple, flat boat model, put it in water, and then add a drop of detergent at the back of the boat.

In this investigation, learners plant seeds in a 2-liter bottle filled with soil that is connected to a water source below. Over the next few weeks, learners observe how the plants grow.

In this activity, learners play with surprising sand that doesn’t get wet! Learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "magic sand" and regular sand.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized "whiskers" can protect clothing from stains.

In this activity, learners of all ages can become food scientists by experimenting with flour and water to make basic pasta.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this activity, learners create secret messages using a candle. Learners discover that watercolor paint is attracted to some materials, like paper fibers, but not others, like oil.

In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.

In this activity, learners find out what happens when they cover leaves with pieces of black construction paper. This activity shows learners that plants need sunlight to survive.
