In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

This is a quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

In this chemistry activity (page 1 of PDF SciGirls Activity: Milk Carton Boat), learners will create a blob of stretchable funny putty out of a water, borax, and glue mixture.

In this activity, learners explore how ordinary marshmallows expand when heated in a microwave.

In this activity, learners investigate diffusion by creating underwater "fireworks" using food coloring, oil and water.

In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.

In this activity, learners add food coloring to hot and cold water to see whether heating or cooling affects the speed of water molecules.

This activity uses LEGO® bricks to represent atoms bonding into molecules and crystals. The lesson plan is for a 2.5 hour workshop (or four 45-minute classes).

In this activity, learners experiment with surface tension using everyday household items such as strawberry baskets, paperclips, liquid dish soap, and pepper.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Water in Our World), learners conduct some quick and easy tests to determine the differences between water and other liquids that look very similar to water.

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.

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 use gumdrops and toothpicks to model the composition and molecular structure of three greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O) and methane (CH4).

In this activity, learners try to float ink on the surface of water to create a pattern and then capture it with absorbent paper.

In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.

In this quick activity, learners drink Avogadro's number worth of molecules - 6.02x10^23 molecules!

In this three-part activity, learners play a game and conduct two simple experiments to explore water and surface tension. Learners will have fun discovering how water "sticks" together.

Heat makes some materials expand, and it makes others shrink.

In this kitchen chemistry activity, learners explore the chemistry of crystals by making sugar crystals, consider a common chemical reaction type responsible for the rising of muffins and cake in the

In this activity, learners describe an object they can’t see. After someone picks outs a few mystery objects and places them in a pillowcase, learners will investigate using only their hands.
