In this activity on page 11 of the PDF, learners follow simple steps to recycle old newspaper into new paper.

In this activity, learners design and build a Zoom-a-rang using everyday materials. Experiment with different materials and Zoom-a-rang designs to see how they fly.

Learners design their own experiment to determine which M&M color dissolves the fastest in water.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity illustrates the path of light as it reflects off of mirrors and how this is used in telescopes.

In this quick activity, learners explore how blubber protects animals from the cold by making a "blubber mitt." Using cooking shortening, two zip-top sandwich bags, and duct tape, learners simulate bl

Is this activity concentrating on physical science, learners build their very own miniature hovercraft out of a paper cup. Using it, they can explore the concepts of friction and force.

In this activity on page 5 of the PDF, learners use their knowledge of energy and batteries to create homemade flashlights.

In this activity, learners use things from the kitchen as building materials to explore how shapes contribute to the strength of different structures.

In this activity on page 5 of the PDF, learners compare water with artificial urine to see how urinalysis works. Learners use urinalysis test strips to test for glucose and protein in the fake urine.

Water, whether fresh or salty, serves as one of the best electrical conductors on the planet. Does salt effect its conductivity?

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

In this activity, learners examine raindrop bottles (prepared ahead of time) to observe in slow motion the behavior of falling droplets and explore concepts such as drag and terminal velocity.

In this twist on a classic design challenge, learners will try to stop a bouncy ball from bouncing as they explore how to control the fall of an object.

This is part 2 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity and must be done after part 1: Sedimentary Rocks. In this activity, learners explore how metamorphic rocks form.

In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.

In this activity, learners burn a peanut, which produces a flame that can be used to boil away water and count the calories contained in the peanut.

In this two-part activity, learners use household items to smell the difference between some stereoisomers, or molecules which are mirror images of one another.

In this activity, learners test what happens when they put baking power on different frozen liquids.

In this activity, learners explore the relationship between cooling water vapor and condensation. Learners investigate condensation forming on the outside of a cold cup.

In this activity about light and perception, learners create and observe moire patterns.
