In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find the volume of one mole of gas. Learners capture sublimated gas from dry ice in a ziploc bag and use water displacement to measure its volume.

In this experiment, learners examine the way oil affects bird feathers and test different cleanup methods to find out which works best.

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore how to change the direction of water flow. Learners make puddles in dirt or use existing puddles and sticks to make water flow.

In this activity, learners explore force and motion by constructing cardboard cars that are propelled by balloons.

In this activity on page 2 of the PDF, learners test different materials to find out which is the best insulator.

Learners explore how the attractive forces between water molecules create surface tension and allow certain objects to float on the surface of water.

In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

Over the course of several days, learners explore the property of water that helps plants move water from roots to leaves or gives paper towels the capacity to soak up water.

In this chemistry activity, learners use common chemicals to produce carbon dioxide and observe its properties. This resource includes brief questions for learners to answer after the experiment.

In this activity, learners observe as soap bubbles float on a cushion of carbon dioxide gas. Learners blow bubbles into an aquarium filled with a slab of dry ice.

In this activity, learners compare different types of salt crystals under a magnifying glass.

In this chemistry activity, learners use common chemicals and metals to explore single replacement reactions.

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF, learners use glue instead of glass to create artwork that can be hung in a window.

In this activity on page 10 of the PDF, learners develop an experiment to answer the following question: "How much water can the hydrogel in a baby diaper hold?" Use this activity to explore polymers,

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

In this activity, learners build cars using syringes and water-powered hydraulics. Learners construct the car frame out of cardboard and set up a hydraulic system to raise and lower the car.

In this activity, learners examine the parts of a thermometer. After placing a thermometer in hot and cold water, learners look at molecular model animations of the liquid in a thermometer.

In this activity, learners try to revive wilted celery. Learners discover that plants wilt when their cells lose water through evaporation. Use this activity to introduce capillary action.

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

In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.
