Testing magnets is always a fun pastime, but here, we're going beyond "will it attract the magnet?" In this activity, learners will investigate which materials allow magnetic fields to pass through or

Learners explore how recyclers take advantage of the different properties of materials, such as magnetism and density, to separate them from a mixture.

In this quick activity, learners explore static electricity using a plastic comb, wool cloth, puffed rice, and a plastic bag.

In this activity, learners will use static elecricity to bend a stream of water without touching it. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

Do grapes, yes the grapes from the grocery store, move in the presence of a very strong magnet?

In this activity, learners experiment with surface tension using everyday household items such as strawberry baskets, paperclips, liquid dish soap, and pepper.

In this activity, learners use a pencil, magnets, and mat board to illustrate Newton's Second Law.

In this activity, learners light an LED with five cents. Learners use two different metals and some sour, salty water to create a cheap battery.

In this activity about electricity, learners suspend pieces of tape from a straw to construct an electroscope, a device that detects an electrical charge.

In this quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity), learners will observe how dry breakfast cereal appears to dance when it gets close to a balloon charged with static

In this trick, learners discover how to stick a straw to the palm of their hand, window door, or anywhere using static electricity.
