What Causes Pressure?
Source Institutions
In this kinesthetic activity that demonstrates pressure, learners act as air molecules in a "container" as defined by a rope.

From Gas to Liquid to Solid
Source Institutions
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.

¡Espirales de Colores!
Source Institutions
En esta actividad sobre la densidad de los líquidos, los participantes ven si las gotas de colorante se hunden en diferentes soluciones de agua.
Is It Possible: Estimating Measurement

In this activity, learners will decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.

Polar Bear Glove
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how animal in cold areas stay warm.

Gravity-Defying Water
Source Institutions
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.

A Mole of Gas
Source Institutions
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.

Size and Distance
Source Institutions
In this activity about depth perception, learners create an optical illusion in a shoe box.

Disappearing Glass Rods

Chain Reaction II
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners use an assortment of (mainly household) items to complete Rube Goldberg-type challenges.

Test Density with a Supersaturated Solution
Source Institutions
Learners create three solutions with different levels of salinity. They compare the density of these solutions by coloring them and layering them in a clear plastic cup and in a soda bottle.

By the Numbers
Source Institutions
Learners describe objects in a room using only numbers and shapes. They can measure the object (like a desk) and make a list of facts about it (e.g.

Power Up!
Source Institutions
In this online game, learners must purchase power plants for their city.
