Touch and Go
Source Institutions
As learners play this game, they develop logic, geometry, and spatial visualization skills. Players start out with an empty hexagonal grid.

Drawing From Nature
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners draw natural objects to explore the details, differences, and similarities of natural objects.

Magic Sand: Nanosurfaces
Source Institutions
This is an activity/demo in which learners are exposed to the difference bewteen hydrophobic surfaces (water repelling) and hydrophilic surfaces (water loving).

Freezing Lakes
Source Institutions
In some parts of the world, lakes freeze during winter. In this activity learners will explore water’s unique properties of freezing and melting, and how these relate to density and temperature.

Push It Out
Source Institutions
In this physics related activity which requires adult supervision, learners make their own powerful water rocket and, with it, explore Newton's Third Law of Motion.

A Feast for Yeast
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 6 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners investigate yeast. Learners prepare an experiment to observe what yeast cells like to eat.

Weight For It!
Source Institutions
In this activity about weights and balances, learners create their own balance using paper cups. Then, learners explore how to compare the relative mass of objects.

Cool It!
Source Institutions
In this fun hands-on activity, learners use simple materials to investigate evaporation. How can the evaporation of water on a hot day be used to cool an object? Find out the experimental way!

Make a Mobile!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make mobiles to explore the concepts of balance, counterbalance, weight, and counterweight.

Neuron Chain Tag
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners play a game of Tag to discover how neurons attach themselves to each other to form a chain.

Hot Stuff!: Investigation #2
Learners test two jars containing hot water, one covered with plastic and one open, for changes in temperature.

What's So Special about Water: Solubility and Density
Source Institutions
In this activity about water solubility and density, learners use critical thinking skills to determine why water can dissolve some things and not others.

Anti-Gravity Cups
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use simple materials to explore centripetal force and variables by swinging a cup of water without having the water spill out.

Make A Map for A Treasure Hunt
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.

Aluminum Boats
Source Institutions
Test the buoyancy of an aluminum foil boat and an aluminum foil ball. Why does the same material in different shapes sink or float?

Disappearing Statues
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

Bobbing Eyeballs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple materials and basic tools to construct a special toy to explore pendulums. As the head of the toy bobs one way, the eyeballs bob the other way.

Bird in the Cage
Source Institutions
In this activity about afterimages, learners explore what happens when receptor cells called cones in your eye's retina get tired.

Endurance: How Many Can You Do in a Row?
Source Institutions
Combine math and exercise with this activity. Learners count how many times in a row they can skip rope or throw and catch a ball.

Wave on Wave
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use raisins and seltzer water to understand why waves don’t move objects forward. Learners conduct two simple experiments to understand the circular movement of waves.
