In this activity about magnetism (page 17 of the pdf), learners experiment with magnets, exploring the concept of diamagnetic materials by seeing how a grape reacts to a magnetic field.

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, learners discover that a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In "Exploring the Solar System: Stomp Rockets," participants learn about how some rockets carry science tools—not scientists—into space, and how a special kind of rocket called "sounding rockets" can

In this activity about magnetism (page 15 of the PDF), learners will explore how opposite and similar magnetic poles affect a swinging (pendulum) magnet.

Testing magnets is always a fun pastime, but here, we're going beyond "will it attract the magnet?" In this activity, learners will investigate which materials allow magnetic fields to pass through or

In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.

In this activity, learners will observe magnetic properties and sort objects by them. This activity uses everyday items to teach learners about magnetic forces, poles and properties of magnets.

In this activity about magnetism (page 4 of the PDF), learners will experiment with magnets and different objects to find out that not all metals are attracted to magnets.

In this activity about magnetism (page seven of the pdf), learners experiment with magnets to better understand how magnetic fields work.

Make a one-string "guitar" by stringing a cup with some fishing line. You amplify the plucking of the string by placing a piezo contact microphone and mini battery powered amplifier inside the cup.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.

In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.

In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.

In this physics activity, learners experiment with the attractive and repulsive power of magnets.

In this activity about magnetism (page 13 of the pdf), learners will experiment with magnets to explore how water and other liquids affect the strength of magnetic fields.

In this activity about magnetism (page 11 of the pdf), learners will experiment with magnets to explore how opposite poles attract and similar poles repel in magnetism.
