How Plants Grow
Source Institutions
In this biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore how plants turn sunlight into food through a process called photosynthesis.

Oh Boy Buoyancy
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will explore the concept of buoyancy, especially as it relates to density.

Vibrant Cords
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how the voice works and feel the vibrations produced by vocal cords.

Wrap It Up!
Source Institutions
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.

The Recycling Conservation Calculator
Source Institutions
In this environmental activity (page 16 of the PDF), learners will calculate the amount of energy they save by recycling paper, plastic, glass, and aluminum materials over the span of a week.

Spit Test
Source Institutions
In this biology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will explore how saliva assists in the beginning of the digestive process.

Chemical Breath
Source Institutions
This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 7 of the PDF). Learners see firsthand how chemicals in a solution can combine to form an entirely different substance.

Optical Morpher
Source Institutions
In this amazing activity about light and reflection, learners will use a pie plate and reflective strips from a mylar balloon to try to morph their face into a friend's.

Chemical Reactions in Your Mouth
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will see that chewing is more than just the crushing up of food; there is actually a chemical change going on at the same time.

School of Fish
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make fish cutouts that propel through the water with the help of surface tension.

The Pressure's On
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners explore chemical reactions and their effects, including the kind of reaction in the human body that makes people burp!

Breathing Yeasties
Source Institutions
In this life science activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore the carbon cycle by mixing yeast, sugar and water.

Mighty Seeds
Source Institutions
In this biology experiment, learners plant soybean seeds in plaster of Paris, witnessing firsthand the mighty power and ability of plants to grow in adverse conditions.

Ziploc Digestion Simulator
Source Institutions
In this biology activity, learners recreate the process of digestion in a zip lock bag. A bit of soda pop added to some crumbled crackers approximates how acids in the stomach dissolve food.

The Effects of Acid Rain
Source Institutions
In this environmental science activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners use vinegar and chalk to observe the effect of acid rain on various building materials and plant life.

Make Your Own Soda Pop
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will identify the instances of physical change, chemical change, and solutions while making homemade soda pop.

Cabbage Patch Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners will learn how to make their own pH indicator using cabbage leaves, and then test common household items with their homemade indicator.
Coat Hanger Chimes
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will--using nothing more than a coat hanger and some string--explore and understand sound energy and how it moves.

Cabbage Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners make an acid-base indicator using cabbage. Learners then explore how various subtances react with this indicator.
