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

In this astronomy activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will examine the effects of gravity on a person’s pulse and explore how gravity can differ from planet to planet.

Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

Learners set up three different bowls, each with a different mass of oatmeal. Learners monitor the temperature of the oatmeal and find that larger masses take longer to cool.

In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

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

In this online activity, learners use a realistic mass and spring laboratory. They hang masses from springs and adjust the spring stiffness and damping.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out if steel wool will weigh more or less when it is burned. Learners will explore the effects of oxidation and rusting on the steel wool.

This is an activity about rockets. Learners will explore how rockets leave Earth's orbit and what it takes to make a launch successful.

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.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can participate to learn about conservation of gas. This is one of the classic experiments using baking soda and vinegar.

Learners see that a can of regular cola sinks while a can of diet cola floats. As a demonstration, bubble wrap is taped to the can of regular cola to make it float.

In this chemistry activity, learners discover that the weight of the product of combustion is greater than that of the starting material.

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.
