In this activity, learners use sound to figure out, or infer, the position of objects. Learners create a maze inside a shoebox with blocks of wood.

In this interactive game, learners compare their music-listening skills with that of a three-month-old baby.

In this outdoor activity, learners will gather natural materials outside that they think a dinosaur would want to lay its eggs in.

Learners experiment with a commercially available liquid-crystal coaster. They warm the material with their hands for varying lengths of time and observe the changing colors that result.

In this activity, learners create a toy that demonstrates the First Law of Thermodynamics or the Law of Conservation of Energy.

This activity/demo introduces learners to aerogel, a glass nanofoam. Learners discover how aerogel is made and how well it insulates as well as learn about aerogel's other unique properties.

In this activity, learners will be able to measure themselves in nanometers. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, a unit of measurement used in nanotechnology.

In this activity, learners will explore the physics of liquids and gas by playing with both! Learners of any age use their own breath to move drops of water across a smooth wax paper surface.

In this activity, learners play with a fuzzy-colored dot that has no distinct edges seems to disappear. As learners stare at the dot, its color appears to blend with the colors surrounding it.

Build a glider that uses the same physics as a curve ball, for less than a dime.

Using two baby food jars, food coloring, and an index card, you'll 'marry' the jars to see how hot water and cold water mix.

In this online simulation, learners use antibiotics to cure patients with bacterial infections.

Learners blow into balloons and collect their breath--carbon dioxide gas (CO2). They then blow the CO2 from the balloon into a solution of acid-base indicator.

In this online game, learners build complicated machines to complete simple tasks. The game starts with a power source on one side of the screen and the task on the other side.

In this chemistry activity, learners observe a combustion reaction and deduce the components necessary for the reaction to occur.

This is a demonstration you can use to show learners how valves and pumps work in concert to move blood through the circulatory system.

In this activity, learners construct a paper glider to experiment with aerodynamic forces.

In this chemistry activity, learners use spaghetti to explore density and chemical reactions.

In this chemistry activity, learners use yeast and hydrogen peroxide to generate a gas (oxygen) and test some of its properties.

Demonstrate the Bernoulli Principle using simple materials on a small or large scale.
