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

Learners explore three-dimensional geometric frames including cubes and tetrahedrons, as they create bubble wands with pipe cleaners and drinking straws.

Create 3D glasses and use them to explore color, light and optics. Fool your brain into 'seeing' three dimensions on a flat surface!

Learners place multiple M&M's in a plate of water to watch what happens as the candies dissolve.

Learners observe and record what happens when they manipulate bottles containing a liquid (water or corn syrup) and one or more objects (screw, nail, paper clip).

In this activity, learners use simple materials to create giant bubbles.

Learners apply their knowledge from a previous study to identify different liquids--water, corn syrup, and vegetable oil.

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

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.
