In this physics activity (page 14 of the PDF), learners gain a better understanding of how friction and mass affect objects by comparing the rotational inertia of raw and hard-boiled eggs.

Learners use chromatography to separate and analyze the mixture of pigments in leaves. Use this activity to discuss photosynthesis as well as why leaves change color in autumn.

In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.

This activity uses turmeric, a common spice in curry, as an indicator for acidity and basicity. Turmeric is yellow in acid and neutral substances, but turns bright red with bases.

This is a quick game about self-assembly (page 2 of PDF under Self-Assembly Activity). Like the molecules of DNA, learners will self-assemble into a pattern by following a simple set of rules.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners imagine what would happen if our Sun were replaced with a black hole.

In this physics activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of thermal conductivity and learn the differences between high and low thermal conductivity.

In this physics activity (page nine of the pdf), learners use balloons to explore how a rocket works. It is suggested they also work to see how they can alter the velocity of the rocket.

In this optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore peripheral vision. Learners collect data about their ability to see shapes, colors, or letters using their peripheral vision.

In this activity about molecular diffusion (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity), learners will make predictions and move molecules of iodine through a seemingly solid plastic sandw

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore the difference between telescope magnification and resolution.

In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to construct a paper bridge that can support 100 pennies.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to help Pharaoh design a better insulated tomb.

In this kinesthetic activity that demonstrates pressure, learners act as air molecules in a "container" as defined by a rope.

What causes frost to form on the outside of a cold container? In this activity, learners discover that liquid water can change states and freeze to become ice.

En esta actividad sobre la densidad de los líquidos, los participantes ven si las gotas de colorante se hunden en diferentes soluciones de agua.

In this activity, learners explore gravity and air pressure as they experiment with holding a glass full of water upside down, without spilling it, using a simple piece of cardstock.

In this two-part activity, learners use everyday materials to visualize one mole of gas or 22.4 liters of gas. The first activity involves sublimating dry ice in large garbage bag.

Learners experiment to see which colors of light will cause a phosphorescent (glow-in-the-dark) material to glow.
