In this art activity (page seven of the pdf), learners will use their creativity to make a "motion collage." Each student will be encouraged to draw a picture of something that moves to be a part of t

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a handkerchief holds water in an upside-down glass.

In this game-like activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore their auditory acuity as well as the importance of having two ears.

In this chemistry challenge, learners identify an unknown white powder by comparing it with common household powders.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure. A "diver" constructed out of a piece of straw and Blu-Tack will bob inside a bottle filled with water.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of air pressure. They will watch as marshmallows inside a bottle expand as a vacuum pump removes air from the bottle.

In this chemistry challenge, learners identify which plants have the enzyme "catalase" that breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

In this activity about gravity (page eight of the pdf), learners will very simply explore how gravity affects objects using balls and toys.

Learners smell balloons filled with different scents to guess what's inside. From this, they infer the presence and motion of scented molecules.

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 use cardboard bases and track tubes to make a ball run to explore the properties of mass, force, and motion.

In this activity, learners investigate how inkjet printers produce tiny, precise drops of ink.

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.

In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.

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

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 activity, young learners investigate magnets. Learners discover that some magnets are stronger than others and that magnets have north and south poles.

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.

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

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