In this art activity (page seven of the pdf), learners will use their creativity to make a "motion collage." Each student will be encouraged to draw a picture of something that moves to be a part of t

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.

In this activity, learners experiment with shadows and light sources to understand the relationship between the angle illumination and the shadow's length.

Before there were clocks, people used shadows to tell time. In this outdoor activity, learners will discover how to tell time using only a compass, a pencil, a handy printout, and a sunny day.

In this activity, learners will explore basic information about thermodynamics by experimenting with ice. Learners will compare ice melting rates on metal pans or plastic cutting boards.

In this activity on page 2 of the PDF, learners discover how color changes can help scientists distinguish between acids and bases.

In this activity, learners use cardboard bases and track tubes to make a ball run to explore the properties of mass, force, and motion.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to investigate how different materials vary in their conduction of heat.

Space telescopes can offer us better, clearer views of the universe (and of our own planet) than Earth-based telescopes can, but getting these large, delicate pieces of equipment into orbit is tricky.

Did you know that a Slinky makes a handy model of earthquake waves?

In this activity, learners investigate how inkjet printers produce tiny, precise drops of ink.

In this activity about light and refraction, learners make a lens and magnifying glass by filling a bowl with water.

In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners discover that a magnet falls more slowly through a metallic tube than it does through a nonmetallic tube.

In this activity, learners mix white craft glue and borax solution together to produce a surprising new material: GOOP!

In this activity, learners will turn cream and salt into butter—using marbles. Learners will explore how shaking up fat globules help them create homemade butter.

In this activity, learners investigate the speed of chemical reactions with light sticks. Learners discover that reactions can be sped up or slowed down due to temperature changes.

In this activity, learners create a xylophone by filling glasses with different amounts of water and tapping them with a metal spoon.

In this physics activity, learners explore how sound is created by vibrations.

In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can explore the three states of matter by examining tactile models that illustrate the characteristics of particles in each sta
