In this activity, learners investigate sound wave science, in stereo! Learners construct a "stereo" out of a metal coat hanger and piece of string to explore sound vibrations.

In this activity, learners build bridges using paper and explore how much weight each bridge design can support.

In this physics activity (page 14 of the PDF), learners gain a better understanding of how friction and mass affect objects by comparing the rotational inertia of raw and hard-boiled eggs.

Build a pinwheel that works without wind! This activity contains steps on how to build a parachuting pinwheel out of paper, a film canister, and some brads.

In this hands-on activity, learners explore static electricity through the use of common household products. They also explore the connection between static electricity and cold weather.

In this activity, learners explore Charles' Law in a syringe.

In this activity, learners make a parachute out of tissue paper, tape, and string. Then, learners test their parachute to see how many paper clips it can carry.

Do you have an extra portable cassette tape player hanging around?

En esta actividad los aprendices aprenderán un truco de magia donde la magia es la presión del aire.

This perception trick focuses on conflicting information to the brain...instead of trying to see two images, you're trying to get a bright spot by overlapping the image you see through two tubes.

In this optics activity, learners investigate afterimages.

In this optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore peripheral vision. Learners collect data about their ability to see shapes, colors, or letters using their peripheral vision.

In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to construct a paper bridge that can support 100 pennies.

See what force a magnet has on a wire that has current running through it: will it push it, pull it, or will nothing happen? This is the foundation of a simple electric motor.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to help Pharaoh design a better insulated tomb.

What causes frost to form on the outside of a cold container? In this activity, learners discover that liquid water can change states and freeze to become ice.

En esta actividad sobre la densidad de los líquidos, los participantes ven si las gotas de colorante se hunden en diferentes soluciones de agua.

If you had a long tube with a 5 millimeter wide slit, would you see the entire Golden Gate Bridge?

In this science trick, learners get an egg to stand-up on its long-axis vertical to a table's top.
