It's a Gas!
Source Institutions
In this simple activity, learners see the production of a gas, which visibly fills up a balloon placed over the neck of a bottle.

Cartesian Diver
Source Institutions
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.

One In The Hand
Source Institutions
In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to break a raw egg just by squeezing it. Learners will be shocked by their inability to complete the deceivingly simple challenge.

Temperature Affects the Solubility of Gases
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners heat and cool carbonated water to find out whether temperature has an effect on how fast the dissolved gas leaves carbonated water.

Under Pressure
Source Institutions
In this simple activity, learners discover how a mere piece of paper can be used to hold up the weight of a heavy book.

Balloon in a Bottle
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will see firsthand that air takes up space and has pressure by attempting to inflate a balloon inside of a bottle.

Buoyant Bubbles
Source Institutions
What keeps bubbles and other things, like airplanes, floating or flying in the air?

That Sinking Feeling
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners observe how salinity and temperature affect the density of water, to better understand the Great Ocean Conveyor.

Pop Rockets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make film canister rocket ships. A fin pattern is glued onto the outside of the canister, and fuel (water and half an antacid tablet) is mixed inside the canister.
Test Your Lung Power
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners try to blow up a balloon hanging inside of an empty bottle.

Egg-stra Strength
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will investigate the strength of egg shells.

Balloon Rocket
Source Institutions
Experiment with force and pressure by building a balloon rocket. When launched, the balloon will run a track wherever you place the string.
