During this activity, learners will make different versions of "ooze" using varied proportions of detergent and glue.

In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to look over ledges or around corners.

In this activity, learners explore what makes a boat float and sink. They examine and test various objects to determine why objects float or sink.

In this activity (located on page 3 of the PDF), learners investigate the way water moves and how we can control and direct water.

Everybody loves bubbles, and this is the best bubble recipe ever!

In this fascinating and fun experiment, learners use chemistry to identify a mystery powder and to solve a "crime," a process similar to that used by real forensic scientists.

In this activity, learners make an electroscope out of a foam cup, straw, aluminum pie pan, thread, and foil. Learners use their electroscopes to test for static electricity.

In this activity, learners build rockets and shoot them into the air by stomping on the plastic bottle launchers.

In this activity, learners build a switch to turn electrical circuits on and off.

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

In this activity, learners build their own sound machines and explore the interplay of motion and sound.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing tube zithers, stringed instruments from Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.

In this activity, learners build a water squirter using a PVC pipe, dowel, and foam. This activity is great for the summer time and introduces learners to forces and water pressure.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

In this activity, learners create a cool floating animal using the science of magnetism. Learners discover what happens when a piece of magnetic metal enters a magnet's field.

In this activity, learners test what happens when they put baking power on different frozen liquids.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

In this set of outdoor games, learners increase their awareness of the outdoor environment by going on a scavenger hunt and an out-of-place hunt.

In this activity, learners build a toy that flies in circles. This activity introduces learners to center of mass, torque, and rotational motion.

In this activity, learners make mobiles to explore the concepts of balance, counterbalance, weight, and counterweight.
