In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

In this chemistry activity, learners are asked to form a hypothesis about the behavior of milk as household detergents act upon it.

In this simple demonstration, learners investigate the properties of air pressure. Learners place an index card on top of a glass full of water, then invert the glass.

In this chemistry challenge, learners discover that many chemical reactions involve heat loss or gain.

In this activity, learners conduct a simple test to find their blind spot.

The "Rocket Reactions" activity is an exciting way to learn about how materials interact, behave, and change.

Learners place their hands on different metals and use an ammeter to monitor the flow of electricity from one metal to another.

This is written as a display, but can easily be adapted to a hands-on activity. Learners discover how all the parts of a diaper work together to keep babies dry and comfortable.

In this activity, learners will explore the dynamics of air pressure by using a candle, a cup, and a dish of water.

In this chemistry activity, learners use spaghetti to explore density and chemical reactions.

"Molecules in Motion" explores how materials behave and change in a vacuum.

Learners add acid rain (nitric acid) to two cups that represent lakes. One cup contains limestone gravel and the other contains granite gravel.

In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners test to see if saliva is necessary for food to have taste.

The Let's Do Chemistry "Build a Battery" activity lets participants learn how batteries work and how materials behave, change, and interact by building their own simple battery out of metal and felt w

Extract your DNA from your very own cells! First, learners swish salt water in their mouth to collect cheek cells and spit the water into a glass.

In this activity, learners perform a simulated blood test procedure.

In this activity, learners will experiment with catalysts to create an at-home version of elephant toothpaste.

In this quick activity about the properties of water (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Malformed Frogs), learners will use an eyedropper to slowly place one drop of water at a time onto a penny,

In this activity, learners test what happens when they put baking power on different frozen liquids.

Learners observe a tank of water containing cans of diet and regular sodas. The diet sodas float and the regular sodas sink. All the cans contain the same amount of liquid and the same amount of air.
