In this activity, learners will use clear nail polish and the power of chemistry to create paper with a rainbow sheen.

In this activity on page 11 of the PDF, learners use candle wax to make "invisible" designs that are revealed with watercolor paints.

In this activity (7th activity on the page), learners use their sense of hearing to find a "sound match." Learners shake containers filled with items like dry seeds, sand, beans, etc.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), the learner places a golf ball between salt water and colored fresh water. The golf ball is not as dense as the saltwater.

In this activity learners will create paint out of natural materials. Explore your natural world (or your fridge) and find berries, leaves, or flowers to find a great base for your paint.

Learners mix a solution containing luminol and copper with a fake blood solution. A chemical reaction between the luminol solution and fake blood (hydrogen peroxide) show learners a blue glow.

In this activity, learners make models representing bones on Earth and bones that have been in space. They discover what happens to bones without proper exercise and nutrition.

In this activity, learners make plates levitate! Learners build "hovercrafts" using simple materials to explore friction and motion.

In this classic reaction, learners baking soda and vinegar in a soda bottle to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. This gas inflates a balloon.

Ocean acidification is a problem that humans will have to deal with as we release more and more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

This hands-on activity lets participant explore chemical reactions as they create a soda explosion with lots of bubbles. The bubbles in soda are made of carbon dioxide gas.

Like water drops in falling rain, a CD separates white light into all the colors that make it up.

In this activity, learners investigate diffusion by creating underwater "fireworks" using food coloring, oil and water.

This activity (on page 2) explores how sensing is part of robotics. Learners try tying their shoes with different constraints.

In this activity, learners will explore the density of an object in water. Learners will compare what happens to fruits and vegetables in regular and salt water.

In this activity, learners will explore pendulum motion through scientific trials by using household items with different length strings.

In this activity, learners will become an engineer by designing and engineering a miniature parachute.

In this activity, learners will make their own prism and use a glass of water to separate sunlight into different colors.

In this activity, learners explore why the sky is blue. Learners model the scattering of light by the atmosphere, which creates the blue sky and red sunset, using a flashlight and clear glue sticks.

In this activity, learners surprisingly pop balloons without touching them using orange peels. This Mr.
