Mixtures and Solutions
Source Institutions
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to investigate heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures and solutions, identify the differences, and explore the conce

Bird in the Cage
Source Institutions
In this activity about afterimages, learners explore what happens when receptor cells called cones in your eye's retina get tired.

Endurance: How Many Can You Do in a Row?
Source Institutions
Combine math and exercise with this activity. Learners count how many times in a row they can skip rope or throw and catch a ball.

Wave on Wave
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use raisins and seltzer water to understand why waves don’t move objects forward. Learners conduct two simple experiments to understand the circular movement of waves.

Twirling Rope Frequency
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch), learners will stand twelve feet apart swinging a rope at the slowest tempo possible while someone uses a stopwatch to record

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

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

Size Wheel
Source Institutions
In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).

Four of the States of Matter
Source Institutions
This kinesthetic science demonstration introduces learners to four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

Dissolving Different Liquids in Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners add different liquids to water and apply their working definition of “dissolving” to their observations.

"Boyle-ing" Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore Boyle's Law and discover that water will boil at room temperature if its pressure is lowered.

Dip Dip, Hooray
Source Institutions
Lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies are a habitat for lots of living things, big and small.

Conservation of Mass
Source Institutions
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can participate to learn about conservation of gas. This is one of the classic experiments using baking soda and vinegar.

Convection Current
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make their own heat waves in an aquarium.

LEGO Orrery
Source Institutions
Use this model to demonstrate the goal of NASA's Kepler Mission: to find extrasolar planets through the transit method.

Strike 'em Down & Add 'em Up!
Source Institutions
In this activity, reuse two-liter bottles to create bowling pins. Learners practice math skills and develop a concept of verifying answers, while bowling and keeping score.

Good Vibrations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment with their voices and noisemakers to understand the connections between vibrations and the sounds created by those vibrations.

The Shadow Knows II
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

Three Little Pigs Construction Company
Source Institutions
In this activity about problem-solving, learners build a house for the Three Little Pigs using twenty straws and two index cards.
Wheel of Fitness
Source Institutions
In this fun activity for any size group, early elementary learners complete physical challenges while playing a game. Learners add new challenges to the "wheel of fitness" that they want to try.
