In this activity, learners discover the primary physical properties used to separate pure substances from mixtures.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners create a collage by using vinegar to transfer color pictures from a newspaper onto a piece of white paper.

In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will make a can that will roll back after it has been rolled away to observe the interactions of kinetic and potential energy.

In this activity, learners explore what happens when polarized white light passes through a sugar solution.

In this activity about backyard habitats learners create a safe and toad-friendly environment near their own home.

In this activity, learners explore how objects can have positive, negative, or neutral charges, which attract, repel and move between objects.

In this crime science activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners will explore the uniqueness of fingerprints. The will learn components of fingerprints as well as why fingerprints are left behind.

In this activity, kids make and play with Ooze before testing the material in an egg drop!

In this activity, learners create a mind and math puzzle that requires a three-dimensional solution.

In this activity, learners discover how bats use echolocation to get information about objects in their environment. During the activity, one learner whispers into a tube.

This lab activity has learners create a pendulum with a one-second period.

Learners design their own experiment to investigate whether the temperature of the surrounding water affects the rate at which the colored coating dissolves from an M&M.

In this activity, learners investigate and compare the rate of drying in different conditions.

In this experiment, learners separate different types of molecules in marker inks (using a technique called "thin layer chromatography").

In this activity, learners will estimate the sizes of balls to learn how to estimate the size of hail. Learners will compare their estimates to the estimates of their peers and the real measurements.

Learners compare the weight of equal volumes of wax, water, and clay. Learners discover that since the wax weighs less than an equal volume of water, it is less dense than water and will float.

Learners are given mysterious white powders and have to determine their identity with chemical tests.

In this activity, learners explore center of gravity, or balance point, of stacked blocks.

In this math activity, learners create their own units of measurement by making noodle rulers. Learners practice estimating and measuring objects using the noodle rulers .

This marine biology activity (on pages 11-17) introduces learners to kelp (seaweed) forests that grow in the ocean and are home to many species of sea animals.
