Learners mix a solution of luminol with hydrogen peroxide to produce a reaction that gives off blue light.

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

In this activity, learners investigate static electricity using everyday objects at four different stations.

In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.

In this challenge, learners figure out how to make a juice stain disappear.

Learners make a mobile model of a carbon atom using clay, wire, and pipe cleaners.
