Make a Water Cycle Wristband
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners thread colored beads onto string. Each beach represent a process of the water cycle.

Pop Fly
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners invent a way to send a Ping-Pong ball flying high enough to catch it - like football with a twist!

Bike Bling
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will trick out their bike with crafts and flair. Learners will explore symmetry, cause and effect and design through this activity.

Production of a Gas: Controlling a Chemical Reaction
Source Institutions
Learners mix vinegar and baking soda to produce a gas. With the addition of a bit of liquid soap, the gas becomes trapped in measurable bubbles.

Why is the Sky Purple?
Source Institutions
This simple hands-on activity demonstrates why the sky appears blue on a sunny day and red during sunrise and sunset.

An Object in Motion
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page nine of the pdf), learners use balloons to explore how a rocket works. It is suggested they also work to see how they can alter the velocity of the rocket.

Flubber: Make a polymer!
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF) features a recipe to create the stretchy polymer Flubber from Borax detergent, white glue, and water.

Snake
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will construct their own spiral "snake" and use it to explore the relationship between heat and kinetic energy.
Coat Hanger Chimes
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will--using nothing more than a coat hanger and some string--explore and understand sound energy and how it moves.

Outbreak!: Investigating Epidemics
Source Institutions
A group of learners simulates the spread of disease by trading slips of paper, one set of which has been treated with a baking soda solution.

Making Circuits
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore electricity and conductivity to find that many things conduct electricity including copper, pencil lead, fruit, play-doh, and even people!

Plaster Casts
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners combine two substances (plaster of Paris and water) to make a cast of an object's imprint in clay.

Sticky Situation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners separate the protein from milk and and use it to make their own glue.
