Learners use Benedict’s solution and heat to test for the presence of simple sugars in glucose, sucrose, starch, and starch combined with amylase.

In this STEAM activity, learners create a "pixel tube" to explore reflections of light and color mixing.

In this activity, learners use pegboard and straws to build a three-dimensional model of the periodic table.

In this activity best suited as a demonstration, learners observe that when a piece of iron gets too hot, it loses its ability to be magnetized.

This is an activity in which learners explore the effects of gravity, motion and momentum while creating art.

In this activity, learners discover how sediment is affected in an oil spill. Learners investigate the differences between heavy and light oil as well as the differences between different sediments.

In this activity, learners design and build their own parachute using household materials with the goal of landing their passenger safely on a target.

In this activity (p.5-6 of PDF), learners investigate natural selection. Learners discover that natural selection, which takes place over decades, can lead to altered populations within a species.

Use a homemade potato launcher to explore air pressure. This activity includes simple instructions on how to build a homemade propulsion pipe using pipe, a wooden dowel and duct tape.

In this activity, learners will build a stomp-powered launcher to blast off paper rockets they design. Materials can be found at a local hardware store or you may already have them at home.

This display shows the dangers of acid rain on buildings and other structures as two concrete bunny rabbits are disintegrated by sulfuric acid. Learners scrape chalk onto the concrete bunnies.

In this chemistry activity, learners transform two ingredients (4% polyvinyl alcohol solution and 4% borax solution) into gooey slime.

In this optics activity, learners build a spy tool to secretly view things over walls or around corners.

The goal of this activity is to design the fastest sailboat or one that carries the most treasure.

In this activity learners will measure and manipulate flubber using different tools. Learners will explore volume and make observations about texture and shapes.

In this chemistry activity, learners will learn how to make their own pH indicator using cabbage leaves, and then test common household items with their homemade indicator.

In this math activity, learners sort patterns into similar "families" or groups that have the same pattern, but different symbols.

In this activity, learners will create their own bubble solution. Learners will explore chemistry, geometry and trial and error through this activity.

In this activity, learners make balloon models of disease-causing bacteria.

In this activity, learners imagine the path their food takes from planting a seed, all the way to sitting on their kitchen counters. Explore concepts for each step food takes to reach your home.
