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

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

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.

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.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from wheat germ using simple materials.

An estuary is a body of water that is created when freshwater from rivers and streams flows into the saltwater of an ocean.

In this activity, learners write invisible messages on goldenrod paper, and make the message appear and disappear using acids and bases.

Visitors observe a graduated cylinder with a golf ball floating about halfway in liquid. The bottom half of the cylinder contains a concentrated solution of salt.

In this activity, learners extract DNA from a strawberry and discover that DNA is in the food they eat.

In this activity, learners test and compare the physical properties of thermoplastic polymers. Learners compare different plastics based on their color, degree of transparency, texture, and density.

In this chemistry challenge, learners work to figure out which of four juices are real, and which is just food coloring and sugar.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast different forms of luminescence by observing how chemiluminescence, phosphorescence, and fluorescence produce or emit light.

In this activity, learners use gumdrops and toothpicks to model the composition and molecular structure of three greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O) and methane (CH4).

In this activity, learners will be introduced to biomass gasification and will generate their own biomass gases.

In this chemistry activity, learners use the lowered freezing point of water to chill another mixture (ice cream) to the solid state.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a lemon slice appears to magically levitate within a pint glass.

In this outdoor activity, learners make their own organic-rich soil. Depending on where this activity is done, learners will probably discover that their local soil is low in organic matter.

In this activity, learners investigate whether having sugar already dissolved in water affects the speed of dissolving and the movement of sugar and color through the water.

In this activity, learners experiment with how dish soap and fat interact by making a colorful swirl.
