Physics Over the Sink: Water Glass Magic
Source Institutions
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.

Changing Colors
Source Institutions
Learners experiment with a commercially available liquid-crystal coaster. They warm the material with their hands for varying lengths of time and observe the changing colors that result.

The Amazing Water Trick
Source Institutions
Using two baby food jars, food coloring, and an index card, you'll 'marry' the jars to see how hot water and cold water mix.

Meltdown
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners heat ice and water of the same temperature to get a hands-on look at phase changes. This is an easy and inexpensive way to introduce states of matter and thermodynamics.

Filtering
Source Institutions
Make a quick and easy filter from household materials. A filter will catch any solids suspended in a liquid and filter them out. By using a filter, learners can discover amazing things.

Mystery Matter
Source Institutions
This interactive demonstration reintroduces learners to three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas), and introduces them to a fourth state of matter, plasma.

Exploding Baggie
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners will experiment with a basic chemical reaction and observe what happens when gas gets trapped! Activity includes step-by-step instructions, safety notes and more.
