In this activity, learners build a musical drum using a cardboard tube, plastic wrap, and beads.

In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.

In this activity, learners describe an object they can’t see. After someone picks outs a few mystery objects and places them in a pillowcase, learners will investigate using only their hands.

In this experiment, learners use JOY liquid detergent and glycerin to make the largest bubble they can that lasts 15 seconds.

In this activity, learners investigate density as they discover how liquids separate to form density layers. Learners discover what happens when they add syrup, cooking oil, and water to a jar.

The Sacred Cenote at Chichén Itzá is a sink hole, or well, containing groundwater. In this activity, learners create their own cenote using chalk, limestone, acids, and rain water.

In this playful physics activity (page eight of the pdf), learners use toy cars to explore how speed and weight affect the results of collision.

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 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).

This kinesthetic science demonstration introduces learners to four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

In this activity, learners add different liquids to water and apply their working definition of “dissolving” to their observations.

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

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.

In this activity, learners use binoculars (or a telescope) to identify and track sunspots. If using binoculars, learners need a pair that can be secured on a tripod.

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

In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will use milk and a few other basic ingredients to create a chemical change to make a color wheel.

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.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

In this Spanish-language chemistry activity, learners use simple materials to explore how fire extinguishers work to put out fires.
