Learners see that a carrot slice sinks in fresh water and floats in saltwater.

In this activity, learners use simple materials to create giant bubbles.

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

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing an instrument toy that buzzes when you swing it.

In this kinesthetic activity that demonstrates pressure, learners act as air molecules in a "container" as defined by a rope.

As a group, learners investigate three packages which are all the same size and shape, but have different contents. One is filled with foam, one is filled with wood, and one is filled with metal.

Learners see convection currents in action in this highly visual demonstration. Sealed bags of colored hot or cold water are immersed in tanks of water.

In this Cyberchase activity, have fun measuring volumes and enjoy a delicious shake.

Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

In this activity about water solubility and density, learners use critical thinking skills to determine why water can dissolve some things and not others.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can utilize it to investigate volume, mass, and density.

In this activity, learners create a kind of balance device using a wire coat hanger, some string, and paper cups.

In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.

In this activity, learners will build an air cannon out of simple materials you can find around the house. Although air is invisible to the eye, it is not by any means empty space!

In this activity, learners estimate how much water they think can be found in various locations on the Earth in all its states (solid, liquid, and gas) to discover the different water ratios in the Ea

Learners investigate how the temperature of water affects its density.

Learners see that a can of regular cola sinks while a can of diet cola floats. As a demonstration, bubble wrap is taped to the can of regular cola to make it float.

Learners color and cut out a spiral-shaped snake. When they hang their snake over a radiator, the snake spins.
