In this colorful activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will make a multicolor density column by using different concentrations of sugar solutions.

In this activity, learners will design a protective package for an egg that will allow the egg to withstand a fall without cracking.

In this activity, learners will build a simple electromagnet. They will test variables that would make the electromagnet stronger.

In this physics activity, learners will explore the concept of buoyancy, especially as it relates to density.

In this physics activity, learners explore how sound is created by vibrations.

This is an activity about waves. Using marbles, paper clips and rubber bands, learners explore how waves behave.

In this combination chemistry and physics activity, learners explore water absorption in dried beans or peas and learn how this affects their physical properties.

In this activity, learners make a solar oven. Learners witness the awesome power of the sun to make a yummy treat--a chocolate chip cookie!

In this Energy and Environment activity (page 9 of the PDF), learners calculate the mass of a piece of gum, compare it to the mass of the gum's packaging, and then create a bar graph of the results.

In this activity about magnetism (page 17 of the pdf), learners experiment with magnets, exploring the concept of diamagnetic materials by seeing how a grape reacts to a magnetic field.

In this activity, learners will create beautiful greeting cards by marbling with shaving cream and food dye. They will explore the chemistry behind the art of marbling.

In this fun chemistry activity (page 3 of the pdf), learners use cabbage juice to determine the pH of several substances.

In this exciting and tasty chemistry activity which requires adult supervision, learners explore how chemistry affects a simple everyday activity like cooking.

In this physics activity, learners will gain a better understanding of how friction, inertia, and mass affect objects.

In this physics activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will make their very own working compass.

In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

In this activity about magnetism (page 15 of the PDF), learners will explore how opposite and similar magnetic poles affect a swinging (pendulum) magnet.

In this activity about transfer of energy, learners get to build their own catapult using nothing more than a plastic spoon and some tape.

In this activity, learners will explore the chemistry of cooking. They will learn about--and observe--the Maillard Reaction as they make their own browned butter.
