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, 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.

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

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

In this activity, learners explore the forces at work in water. Learners experiment to find out what happens to pepper in water when they touch it with bar soap and liquid detergent.

In this quick activity, learners observe how wind creates ocean currents.

In this activity, learners observe, explore and investigate vibrating instruments in everyday places and create music in unique ways.

This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

In this activity, learners explore the chemical reaction between water and effervescent antacid tablets. This hands-on activity models how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In this activity, learners use clear nail polish to create a beautiful iridescent pattern on black paper. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

In this activity, learners work in pairs to measure each other's ankles with lengths of string.

In this activity (on page 2) about fingerprint analysis, learners use graphite from a pencil and scotch tape to capture their fingerprints.

In this chemistry activity, learners make a slimy non-Newtonian fluid called "Gluep." Use this activity to introduce learners to polymers and viscosity.

In this activity, learners build a simple "rocket" with ordinary household materials to demonstrate the basic principles behind rocketry and the principle of reaction.

In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to insert a straw the furthest into a potato.

In this chemistry activity, learners explore density by using four solids and 6 liquids to create colorful, layered rows.

In this quick activity, learners explore how blubber protects animals from the cold by making a "blubber mitt." Using cooking shortening, two zip-top sandwich bags, and duct tape, learners simulate bl

In this two-part activity, learners use household items to smell the difference between some stereoisomers, or molecules which are mirror images of one another.

This activity teaches combustion as the interaction of a fuel source and oxygen.
