Charge Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how objects can have positive, negative, or neutral charges, which attract, repel and move between objects.

Conductivity Meter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a simple qualitative conductivity tester with a battery, bulb and foil.

Beam Me Up!
Source Institutions
This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about the "Tyndall effect," the scattering of visible light when it hits very small dispersed particles.

Limewater
Source Institutions
This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 6 of the PDF). Students make a limewater testing solution for carbon dioxide and explore the concepts of solubility and precipitates.

Particle Detection
Source Institutions
By tossing, collecting, and sorting beanbags, learners understand how the IBEX spacecraft uses its sensors to detect and map the locations of particle types in the interstellar boundary.

Indicating Electrolysis
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a simple electrolysis device. Then learners use an indicating solution to visualize hydrogen and oxygen molecules in water.

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.

Pea Brain!: Explorations in Estimation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

How Small Can You Cut?
Source Institutions
In this lesson, learners cut paper into very small pieces to explore the small size of quarks, the smallest thing we know of on Earth.

Water Treatment
Source Institutions
Water treatment on a large scale enables the supply of clean drinking water to communities.

Holding Charge
Source Institutions
In this trick, learners discover how to stick a straw to the palm of their hand, window door, or anywhere using static electricity.
