In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.

In this activity, learners explore the concepts of density and basic chemical reactions as they create a homemade lava lamp effect using water, oil, food coloring, and Alka-Seltzer tablets.

During this activity, learners will make different versions of "ooze" using varied proportions of detergent and glue.

Learners build a small rocket using a matchstick and a piece of aluminum foil. A second, lit match launches the match rocket. This activity involves fire; adult supervision required.

In this physics activity (page nine of the pdf), learners use balloons to explore how a rocket works. It is suggested they also work to see how they can alter the velocity of the rocket.

Build a catapult that transforms the potential energy of a twisted rubber band into kinetic energy. Experiment with design variations so that you can hit a target with a projectile.

In this activity, learners separate the protein from milk and and use it to make their own glue.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF) features a recipe to create the stretchy polymer Flubber from Borax detergent, white glue, and water.
