In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

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.

In this activity, learners design a bungee jump for an egg using nylon stockings.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.

In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

In this activity, learners use Styrofoam to collect organisms from a pond, estuary or marine environment and then examine what they have caught with a microscope.

Learners attach an egg to a rubber-band bungee cord and drop the egg.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about nanotechnology making its way into everyday products, such as sunscreen, and how effective these invisible particl

In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about crystals by growing their very own.

In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will see that chewing is more than just the crushing up of food; there is actually a chemical change going on at the same time.

In this activity (12th activity on the page), learners conduct an experiment to demonstrate how muscles are constantly feeding information to the brain about what they are doing.

Learners make their own acid-base indicator from red cabbage. They use this indicator to test substances around the house.

In this activity, learners use oil, water, food coloring and antacid tablets to create a bubbling lava lamp. Use this activity to introduce concepts related to density, hydrophobicity vs.

In this activity, learners separate materials based on their special properties to mimic the way recyclables are sorted at recycling centers.

In this activity, learners make a helium balloon "flink"--neither float away nor sink to the ground. Use this activity to introduce physics concepts related to gravity, density, and weight.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.

In this activity, learners use coverslips to collect organisms from a pond, estuary or marine environment and then examine what they have caught with a microscope.

In this activity, learners conduct the "Stroop Effect" test and explore what happens when they try to complete two simple tasks at the same time.

In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.
