In this activity, learners will explore the density of an object in water. Learners will compare what happens to fruits and vegetables in regular and salt water.

Young learners investigate and observe the properties of three liquids -- water, vegetable oil, and corn syrup. They use their senses to collect data and ask and answer questions.

In this activity, learners will explore basic information about thermodynamics by experimenting with ice. Learners will compare ice melting rates on metal pans or plastic cutting boards.

In this activity, learners make a paper model of a polymer, then make Silly Putty, an actual polymer.

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

In this indoor or outdoor water activity, learners pour water from small cups to large cups and containers. In doing so, they discover water takes the shape of its container.

This is an activity about waves. Using marbles, paper clips and rubber bands, learners explore how waves behave.

In this activity, learners explore the behavior of cold-blooded animals. Learners discover what happens when they change a fly's temperature.

In this activity, learners will experiment with density and chemical reactions to create a flurry activity.

In this activity, learners will construct a device to blow bubbles. By adding corn syrup to the bubble solution, we can increase the surface tension of the bubbles--and their size.

In this activity, learners will experience the different states of matter using crayons as the medium. Explore matter changing between phases while recycling old crayons.

In this sensory activity, learners enjoy the fun of a snow day any season of the year.

In this activity, learners will create a drawing with dry erase markers and watch it come to life. Learners will explore chemistry, art and storytelling through this activity.

In this activity, learners investigate the effect of heat on a reaction.

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.

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an air-powered spinning machine.

In this activity about friction and gravity (page seven of the pdf), learners use toy racing cars to explore how the two forces affect the motion of objects.

Space Guess Quest is a fun game that encourages participants to identify the many types of objects in space, from human-made spacecraft to nebulas, galaxies, stars, and worlds.

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.

In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.
