This activity about density provides instructions for making a miniature "lava lite" with just salt, oil, water, and food coloring.

Learners determine the surface area and volume of two identical boxes, and then figure out the dimensions of a cubical box with the same volume.

In this math lesson (page 2 of the PDF), learners use bottles of various shapes to explore the abstract concept of rate of change.

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?

Learners design and create musical instruments from common objects; their challenge is to create an instrument that can make three different tones.

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

In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.

Learners cover a bottle with a balloon. When they immerse the bottle in warm water, the balloon inflates. When they immerse the bottle in a bowl of ice, the balloon deflates.

In this online interactive simulation, learners will test the pH of liquids like coffee, spit, and soap to determine whether each is acidic, basic, or neutral.

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 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

This activity puts a mathematical twist on the familiar “guessing jar.” No guesses allowed, estimates only.

Make snack time into measuring time and learn to read Nutrition Facts labels. Try this when you’re using “pourable” foods, such as cereal, yoghurt, or juice.

In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will see firsthand that air takes up space and has pressure by attempting to inflate a balloon inside of a bottle.

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

Learners make a counting/estimating jar to exchange with friends or bring home.

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

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

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, learners will put a set of containers in order by capacity. Would the tallest container hold more or less water than the wide, short one?
