This simple, yet surprising physics demonstration challenges preconceptions about forces, and demonstrates the strength of atmospheric pressure.

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

In this activity, learners will explore the ways natural materials can produce sounds. Appropriate for any age, learners can make individual music or create a symphony with others.

Use this Moon Map Guide to help learners identify features on the Moon, while looking through a telescope.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity, learners will explore their center of gravity.

In this interactive game, learners listen to the songs of four different thrushes and then try to match each bird with its song.

In this activity, learners will use a variety of household and/or natural objects to design a sculpture that balances from a single point.

In this online activity, learners make a whole rainbow by mixing red, green, and blue light. They can change the wavelength of a monochromatic beam or they can filter white light.

In this hands-on activity, learners make the world's simplest Cartesian diver, using only a plastic bottle, some water, and a condiment packet.

In this activity, learners will investigate the part of soil. Explore how clay, silt, and sand make up the dirt in your background. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.

This online interactive has three activities in the NanoLab (press the upper right button): Build, Zoom, and Transform.

In this indoor or outdoor demonstration, use a large and small ball to illustrate conservation of energy and momentum.

In this activity, learners use objects they find on a nature and water to make creative frozen sculptures.
