Learners design their own experiment to investigate whether the temperature of the surrounding water affects the rate at which the colored coating dissolves from an M&M.

Learners will compare the growth rate and appearance of crystals forming on small rocks to those growing on miscellaneous objects. Learners will also investigate how temperature (warm vs.

Learners conduct an experiment to determine the rate at which two materials, sand and water, heat up and cool down.

In this activity, learners use cardboard bases and track tubes to make a ball run to explore the properties of mass, force, and motion.

This three-part activity consists of an activity that groups of learners develop themselves, a given procedure, and an optional demonstration.

In this lab activity, learners act as fellow scientists and colleagues of Isaac Newton. He has asked them to independently test his ideas on the nature of motion, in particular his 2nd Law.

Learners place an M&M candy in water and observe what happens. The sugar-and-color coating dissolves and spreads out in a circular pattern around the M&M.

Learners investigate a pre-constructed mystery tube to determine its interior mechanism.

Learners build a pendulum from a yo-yo, and then design their own experiment to determine what affects the pendulum's period of swing.

During this activity, learners will make different versions of "ooze" using varied proportions of detergent and glue.

In this activity (located on page 3 of the PDF), learners investigate the way water moves and how we can control and direct water.

In this activity, learners explore the process of condensation.

Learners explore the physical properties of a variety of balls and how they bounce.

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the composition of unseen materials using a variety of tools.

In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

“Exploring the Solar System: Ice Orbs” is a hands-on activity in which visitors investigate a frozen orb, trying to learn about objects hidden inside.

In this activity, learners separate the protein from milk and and use it to make their own glue.
