In this activity, learners will make their own slushies and learn some of the science behind how the process works.

Make a rattle-like musical instrument! Shake it, hit it, spin it any way you want to!

Like water drops in falling rain, a CD separates white light into all the colors that make it up.

Trick your family and friends with this creepy crawler that moves up and down. In this activity, learners construct a circuit and motor device that will move a homemade spider in a spooky way.

In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.

In this physics activity, learners will explore the concept of buoyancy, especially as it relates to density.

In this activity, learners try pouring water out of a regular cup and a miniature cup. It’s harder than it sounds! Learners discover that different forces dominate at different size scales.

Learners investigate how temperature affects the rate of chemical reactions by observing how steel wool reacts with various types of Kool-Aid solutions at different temperatures.

Learners apply their knowledge from a previous study to identify different liquids--water, corn syrup, and vegetable oil.

In this activity, learners will explore the density of an object in water. Learners will compare what happens to fruits and vegetables in regular and salt water.

In this chemistry challenge, learners discover that many chemical reactions involve heat loss or gain.

In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.

Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

Young learners investigate and observe the properties of three liquids -- water, vegetable oil, and corn syrup. They use their senses to collect data and ask and answer questions.

In this activity, learners construct drums out of everyday containers (like bowls or food containers) and shrink wrap. Learners use a hair dryer to affix and tighten the shrink wrap to the container.

In this activity, learners will explore how the voice works and feel the vibrations produced by vocal cords.

In this art activity (page seven of the pdf), learners will use their creativity to make a "motion collage." Each student will be encouraged to draw a picture of something that moves to be a part of t

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