Scream for Ice Cream
Source Institutions
Don't scream for ice cream -- make it with milk, sugar, flavoring and some 'salt-water' ice. Discover the chemistry of ice cream by creating your own.

Engineer an Aeolipile
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners build an air-powered spinning machine.

Observing Insects at Night
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners set up a night time insect observation station with a light and sheet.

Root Beer Float
Source Institutions
In this quick activity/demonstration about density, learners examine what happens when two cans of root beer--one diet and one regular--are placed in a large container of water.

Toad Toy
Source Institutions
In this activity, the learner will explore hand eye coordination while using a variation of the ball and cup game.

Woodlands Map
Source Institutions
This is a culminating activity which allows learners to summarize what they know about Woodlands Native Americans by creating illustrations and map symbols for a large outline map (see related Activit

Ice Fishing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use string and salt to lift an ice cube out of a glass of water. Salt depresses the freezing point of water, allowing it to melt around the string and refreeze.

Leaf Rubbings
Source Institutions
When was the last time you took a really close look at a leaf? In this activity, learners will use leaves and simple materials to make colorful leaf rubbings.

Spinning Blackboard
Source Institutions
Create beautiful spirals by drawing a straight line. This sounds crazy, but you can with a turntable (a record player or lazy susan), paper, and pen.

Shaving Cream Nebula Prints
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will swirl paint into shaving cream to make an extravagant nebula print.

Copter Engineering
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners engineer a paper helicopter that spins to the ground when dropped.

A Slice of Apple Fly
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build an instrument for catching and observing flies. Learners act as entomologists, attract flies into a jar using a slice of apple, and then observe the flies' behavior.

Flower Dissection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners perform a plant dissection to gain a better understanding of a plant’s structure and function.

Rainbow Refraction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how light can refract or break apart into different colors.
