In this activity, learners work with an adult to build a rocket and launcher out of a plastic 2-liter bottle, flexible plastic hose, plastic tubing, toilet paper tube, and duct tape.

In this electrochemistry activity, learners will explore two examples of electroplating.

In this interdisciplinary activity, learners create a Space Weather Action Center (SWAC) to monitor solar storms and develop real SWAC news reports.

Learners set up three different bowls, each with a different mass of oatmeal. Learners monitor the temperature of the oatmeal and find that larger masses take longer to cool.

Learners test their "light-smarts" by playing a game called "Light Quest!" The game board represents an atom and each player represents an electron that has been bumped into the atom's outer unstable

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty 2-liter bottles and hot tap water to illustrate the effect of heat on pressure.

In this activity, learners build a tiny but powerful flashlight out of simple materials. Use this activity to introduce learners to electrical circuits and conductivity.

In this activity, learners explore how a flashlight works, showing the electric circuit and switch functions of this everyday household item.

In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore what happens when a star explodes.

In this activity (on page 1), learners role play as atoms to explore how atoms can be rearranged to make different materials.

This highly visual model demonstrates the atomic theory of matter which states that a gas is made up of tiny particles of atoms that are in constant motion, smashing into each other.

In this two-part activity about luminescence, learners explore the chemistry that happens inside glow sticks and other light producing reactions.

By tossing, collecting, and sorting beanbags, learners understand how the IBEX spacecraft uses its sensors to detect and map the locations of particle types in the interstellar boundary.

This simple and engaging astronomy activity explains nuclear fusion and how radiation is generated by stars, using marshmallows as a model.

This fun astronomy activity allows learners to experience finding stars in the night sky that will eventually go supernova. This activity is perfect for a star party outdoors.

In this quick activity, learners observe how wind creates ocean currents.

In this four-part activity, learners explore light and sound through a variety of hands-on investigations.

This kinesthetic science demonstration introduces learners to four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
