In this activity related to Archimedes' Principle, learners use water displacement to compare the volume of an expanded gummy bear with a gummy bear in its original condition.

In this design challenge, learners build a boat that paddles itself using a rubber band as its power source.

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

En esta actividad, los aprendices aprenderán que es la cromatografía y cómo usarla para separar diferentes sustancias - en este caso,usarán los colores.

In this activity, learners use a flashlight, a glass of water, and some milk to examine why the sky is blue and sunsets are red.

Learners drop two different masses of play dough and observe how long it takes them to hit the ground.

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.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity demonstrates the shadow of the Earth as it rises as a dark blue shadow above the eastern horizon.

In this optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out why two eyes are better than one!

This activity is designed to let learners measure their reaction time or response time to something they see.

This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 6 of the PDF). Students make a limewater testing solution for carbon dioxide and explore the concepts of solubility and precipitates.

In this activity, learners create night lights using a plastic cup, programmable PICO Cricket, tri-color LED, and sensor.

In this activity, learners create painting machines that can paint moving forwards and backwards.

Learners shine the light of a laser pointer through sheets of fabric that all have a different number of threads per inch.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.
