In this electrochemistry activity, learners will explore two examples of electroplating.

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

In this activity, learners simulate the process of DNA fingerprinting by using electricity to separate colored dyes.

In this physics crime lab or demonstration, learners pretend they are criminologists and must find the "muzzle velocity" (speed of the bullet as it leaves the gun) of a gun used to commit a crime.

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

In this activity, learners create models of ionic compounds and observe the chemical formula of binary molecules they have created.

In this activity, learners conduct an oxidation experiment that turns old pennies bright and shiny. Learners soak 20 dull, dirty pennies in a bowl of salt and vinegar for five minutes.

In this activity, learners build a recording timer made from simple materials (e.g., small dc motor, sharpie pen, craft sticks, adding machine paper tape, etc.).

In this activity, learners stain fabrics--on purpose!

In this activity, learners create and experiment with wind tubes. These tubes are a playful and inventive way to explore the effect that moving air has on objects.
