In this activity, learners will experiment with density and chemical reactions to create a flurry activity.

In this optics activity, learners explore color by examining color dots through colored water and the light of a flashlight.

Oboes's unique sound originates from the two small reeds a musician blows into. Make your own double reed instrument out of straw!

In this activity, learners will construct a device to blow bubbles. By adding corn syrup to the bubble solution, we can increase the surface tension of the bubbles--and their size.

In this activity exploring liquid dynamics, learners design and build a clay channel in a tray of water and then see what happens when food coloring and liquid soap are added to the mix.

“Exploring Earth: Investigating Clouds” is a hands-on activity in which visitors create a cloud in a bottle and explore it with laser light.

In this activity, learners explore why they can see colors in bubbles and why they change.

In this optics activity, learners work in pairs to explore how mirrors work. Learners use tape to mark the angles needed to see each other's reflection in a wall mirror.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

In this game (4th activity on the page) about hearing, learners test their ability to identify various sounds without looking.

In this physics activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will explore the property of density.

On an airplane trip, learners have an opportunity to investigate the properties of air pressure at different altitudes.

In this sensory activity, learners enjoy the fun of a snow day any season of the year.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty 2-liter bottles and hot tap water to illustrate the effect of heat on pressure.

In this activity, learners will create a drawing with dry erase markers and watch it come to life. Learners will explore chemistry, art and storytelling through this activity.

Perform this classic inertia demonstration to illustrate the transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy.

Find out what it would be like to have ears shaped differently from your own! Design and make different animal ears then try them out.

In this activity, learners engineer a flying glider using paper hoops and a drinking straw.

In this physics activity, challenge learners to make and race a balloon-powered car. Learners construct the body out of a paper cup, wheels out of wooden spools. and fuel tank out of a balloon.

In this activity, challenge learners to make a pencil stand on its tip using only two pieces of wire and two clothespins. Use this activity to demonstrate the center of gravity.
