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

In this introductory demonstration and activity, learners are introduced to the concept of density as they explore a rock and a wooden block in water.

In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

In this math lesson, learners analyze the density of liquids in order to explore linear functions.

In this activity, learners measure and calculate the amount of cubic feet various containers contain. Next, learners investigate cubic feet per second (cps), by carrying jugs in one second.

In this activity, learners explore engineering package designs that meet the needs of safely shipping a product.

In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.

In this activity (located on page 9 of the PDF), learners are introduced to Aesop's fable, "The Crow and the Pitcher." In the story, a clever crow drops pebbles into a pitcher to cause the water level

In this activity, learners build handheld rockets and launchers out of PVC pipes and plastic bottles. Use this activity to demonstrate acceleration, air pressure, and Newton's Laws of Motion.

In this activity related to Archimedes' Principle, learners use water displacement to compare the volume of an expanded gummy bear with a gummy bear in its original condition.

In this activity, learners build rockets and shoot them into the air by stomping on the plastic bottle launchers.

In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

In this activity, learners investigate the relative growth of lengths, areas, and volumes as cylinders are scaled up.

In this activity, learners build a water squirter using a PVC pipe, dowel, and foam. This activity is great for the summer time and introduces learners to forces and water pressure.

In this activity, learners explore Charles' Law in a syringe.

In this activity, learners observe, explore and investigate vibrating instruments in everyday places and create music in unique ways.

This interactive demonstration reintroduces learners to three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas), and introduces them to a fourth state of matter, plasma.

In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

Learners create a tool to measure how well they grip a wet object when their fingers are smooth versus wrinkly. Are smooth or wrinkly fingers better at holding on to the object?

In this activity, learners estimate how much water they think can be found in various locations on the Earth in all its states (solid, liquid, and gas) to discover the different water ratios in the Ea
