In this physics activity, learners conduct two experiments to explore free-falling.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this kinesthetic activity, learners will play a game with a ball to demonstrate the Coriolis force, which partly explains why hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise.

In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity demonstrates the shadow of the Earth as it rises as a dark blue shadow above the eastern horizon.

In this kinesthetic activity that demonstrates pressure, learners act as air molecules in a "container" as defined by a rope.

Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.

Is a square stronger than a triangle? Use tongue depressors to build simple shapes. Then apply a little weight to them and see what happens!

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

In this activity, learners use chocolate to explore how the Sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation.

Build a fruit fly trap out of a 2-liter plastic bottle and some rotten fruit! Fruit flies are easy to catch in warm weather. Once you catch some, you will be able to see their life cycle up-close.

This activity demonstrates the importance of wearing a helmet to protect the brain. An egg is used to symbolize a head with the shell as the skull and the inside of the egg as the brain.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this indoor or outdoor demonstration, use a large and small ball to illustrate conservation of energy and momentum.

In this activity/demonstration, learners explore pollen and how insects and animals transport pollen. Learners investigate and compare wind and animal pollination.
