Learners see that a carrot slice sinks in fresh water and floats in saltwater.

In this activity, learners will build thier own balance scale. Learners will explore weight and comparison through this activity.

In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

Learners see convection currents in action in this highly visual demonstration. Sealed bags of colored hot or cold water are immersed in tanks of water.

Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

In this physics activity (page 14 of the PDF), learners gain a better understanding of how friction and mass affect objects by comparing the rotational inertia of raw and hard-boiled eggs.

In this activity, learners create a kind of balance device using a wire coat hanger, some string, and paper cups.

In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.

In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will build a class 1 lever and hypothesize and test the distances two objects need to be placed from the fulcrum in order to balance.
