In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

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

In this demonstration, learners watch as a device drops a ball into a cup without touching the ball or cup, even though the ball and cup are virtually side-by-side.

In this dramatic activity/demonstration about phase change and condensation, learners place an aluminum can filled with about two tablespoons of water on a stove burner.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty 2-liter bottles and hot tap water to illustrate the effect of heat on pressure.

In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.

This quick demonstration (on page 11 of PDF) allows learners to understand why scientists think water ice could remain frozen in always-dark craters at the poles of the Moon.

Learners observe a sealed test tube containing a small amount of solid stearic acid.

In this chemistry activity, learners fill two test tubes with a solution of "artificial stomach fluid," consisting of hydrochloric acid in the same concentration as in human stomachs, some soap to cre

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

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

In this chemistry demonstration, acid rain is simulated in a petri dish.

The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.

Learners complete two simple experiments to prove the existence of air and air pressure which surround us.

In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will see firsthand that air takes up space and has pressure by attempting to inflate a balloon inside of a bottle.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty soda cans to illustrate Bernoulli's principle.

In this demonstration, learners can observe a number of small convection cells generated from a mixture of aluminum powder and silicon oil on a hot plate.

In this quick activity, learners observe how salinity and temperature affect the density of water, to better understand the Great Ocean Conveyor.

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