In this colorful activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will make a multicolor density column by using different concentrations of sugar solutions.

In this optics activity, learners explore how many objects they can see in a set of mirrors (hinged like a book) at various angles.

Learners experiment with a 2-liter plastic bottle containing water and four “divers." The divers consist of open, transparent containers with the opening points downward.

In this activity, learners use cheap, thin plastic garbage bags to quickly build a solar hot air balloon. In doing so, learners will explore why hot air rises.

In this up-cycling activity, learners recycle plastic bags and repurpose them into useful wallets.

In this activity, learners use an old CD to construct a spectroscope, a device that separates light into its component colors.

In this activity, multiple learners will use a game with ballloons to learn about coqui frog behavior.

In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

Trick your family and friends with this creepy crawler that moves up and down. In this activity, learners construct a circuit and motor device that will move a homemade spider in a spooky way.

In this physics activity, learners will explore the concept of buoyancy, especially as it relates to density.

In this activity (23rd on the page), learners conduct an experiment to examine memory and learning.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hockey), learners will use a simple physics of motion and gravity demonstration to test their predicting skills.

In this activity, learners explore how changes in fluid pressure affect the buoyancy of a Cartesian diver inside a plastic soda bottle.

Learners apply their knowledge from a previous study to identify different liquids--water, corn syrup, and vegetable oil.

Using pipe cleaners, straws, and beads, learners explore the building blocks of life by creating their own model of DNA.

In this chemistry challenge, learners discover that many chemical reactions involve heat loss or gain.

In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.

Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

In this physics activity, learners attempt to lift a jar full of rice using only a spoon.
