Memory Match
Source Institutions
In this classic memory game (on pages 37-45 of PDF), learners turn over tiles to reveal images on the back.

Lost Labels
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners will conduct chemical and physical tests to identify mystery substances.

Oh Buoy!
Source Institutions
Learners work in pairs to design, construct, and test a device that exhibits positive, neutral, and negative buoyancy. They test a number of different objects in water to see if they sink or float.

A Hole in the Ground
Source Institutions
Learners build models of sinkholes to gain an intuitive knowledge of their physical aspects.

Inner Space
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that there is space between molecules even in a cup "full" of water. They first fill a cup with marbles, and then add sand to fill the gaps between the marbles.

The Best Dam Simulation Ever
Source Institutions
This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

Designing Bandages
Source Institutions
Learners design different shaped bandages for different purposes. First, they draw their designs on paper.

Plastic Milk: You can make plastic from milk
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a plastic protein polymer from milk. Adding vinegar to milk causes the protein casein to solidify or curdle.

Invisible Ink
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners experiment with lemon juice and paper to create a message that can only be revealed using chemistry.

Draggin' Boats
Source Institutions
Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

Plant Piping
Source Institutions
Learners build models to learn about the special cells and structures that plants use to move water from their roots up through the stems and leaves.

Cloudy Globs: Can You Make a White Gel From Two Clear Liquids?
Source Institutions
Using household materials, learners can make white gooey globs from clear solutions. Alum, dissolved in water, reacts with the hydroxide in ammonia to create aluminum hydroxide.

Program a Friend
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2), one person "programs" the other like a robot to move through a space, trying to get them to avoid obstacles and reach a goal.

Acting Out
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 21-32 of PDF) has learners act out several classic brain teasers.

Big Things Come in Little Packages
Source Institutions
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.

Calcium Collage
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 11-14 of PDF), learners cut out pictures from magazines of foods that help make bones strong and glue the pictures to a paper bone.

Sketch a Skeleton
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 15-18 of PDF), learners make a life-size two-dimensional paper model of their own skeletons.

Electrolysis
Source Institutions
Using electrolysis, learners produce hydrogen gas and oxygen gas from water molecules in a solution.

Cabbage Juice Indicator: Test the pH of household products
Source Institutions
Learners make their own acid-base indicator from red cabbage. They use this indicator to test substances around the house.

Shrinkers: Cook up some plastic!
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners (with adult help and supervision) investigate how heat affects polystyrene plastic.
