Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.

In this activity, learners explore water pressure by conducting an experiment with a garden hose. Learners build a testing apparatus and create PVC nozzles with different sized holes.

In this three-part activity, learners explore how waves are formed and why some waves are bigger than others. First, learners observe waves of water in a pan generated by an electric fan.

This is a hands-on activity exploring how nanoscale particles are used in mineral sunblocks to increase their transparency.

This is an activity/demo in which learners are exposed to the difference bewteen hydrophobic surfaces (water repelling) and hydrophilic surfaces (water loving).

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners investigate yeast. Learners prepare an experiment to observe what yeast cells like to eat.

Using simple, inexpensive items, learners build and test submarine models.

In this weather activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore the water cycle through an interactive game.

This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

In this activity, learners use aluminum trays and wooden blocks to form stream tables to investigate river formations in two different landscape scenarios.

In this activity, learners perform an experiment to find out what determines a flower's color.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners experiment with the interesting designs that can be made by painting on plaster.

In this activity, learners investigate carbon sequestration by creating a carbonated beverage out of apple juice and dry ice.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Behind the Scenes with Chemistry), learners make some special effects, including snow and breaking glass, with supplies found in the home.

In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of density-driven currents (thermohaline circulation) and how these currents are affected by climate change.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF, explore the unique molecular structure and conductive nature of graphene. Learners construct a circuit with a battery and LED bulb.

In this activity on page 8 of the PDF (Behind the Scenes with Chemistry), learners make three of Harry Potter's essential school supplies: quills, ink, and color-changing paper.

This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.
