Chemical Breath
Source Institutions
This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 7 of the PDF). Learners see firsthand how chemicals in a solution can combine to form an entirely different substance.

Moving Molecules!
Source Institutions
In this activity about molecular diffusion (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity), learners will make predictions and move molecules of iodine through a seemingly solid plastic sandw

Magnification vs. Resolution: Can you see the flag on the Moon?
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore the difference between telescope magnification and resolution.

Pot-in-Pot Refrigeration
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2 of PDF), learners create a low-tech refrigerator that requires no electricity to keep food from spoiling.

Shape Stamping
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore two-dimensional shapes that are found in three-dimensional shapes. Learners will explore geometry, design, color and tool use through this activity.

Lava Lamp
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their own lava lamps. Learners will explore density, effervescence and chemistry through this activity.

On Target
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners modify a cup so it can carry a marble down a zip line and also drop it onto a target.

Diving Submarine
Source Institutions
Learners use a commercially available toy to experiment with density. They fill a chamber in the toy submarine with baking powder and release it into a tank of water.

Fantastic Four: A Math Card Game
Source Institutions
This is a game that is sure to sharpen players' basic math skills. Players must use four randomly selected numbers to create an equation that equals a fifth number.

Hot Sauce Hot Spots
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.

Polar Bear Glove
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how animal in cold areas stay warm.

See the Light
Source Institutions
Learners mix a solution of luminol with hydrogen peroxide to produce a reaction that gives off blue light.

Size and Distance
Source Institutions
In this activity about depth perception, learners create an optical illusion in a shoe box.

DIY Bath Bombs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore acid-base reactions and create their own bubbly results.
Tropical Belt
Source Institutions
This lesson familiarizes learners with the term "tropical belt." First, learners locate the equator, Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn on a map and trace these lines with a crayon.

The Awesome Game Race
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners design their own board games.

Race Around the Black Hole
Source Institutions
In this game, learners cutout a model black hole "cone" and attempt to roll around a marble or other small spherical object without touching the event horizon.

Getting Your Bearings
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of friction and how ball bearings reduce friction.

Chain Reaction II
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners use an assortment of (mainly household) items to complete Rube Goldberg-type challenges.

Test Density with a Supersaturated Solution
Source Institutions
Learners create three solutions with different levels of salinity. They compare the density of these solutions by coloring them and layering them in a clear plastic cup and in a soda bottle.
