In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.

In this activity, learners practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation while learning why ice formations on land (not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting.

Learners measure a bottle full of air, and then use a vacuum pump to remove the air. When they re-weigh the bottle, learners find the mass is about 0.8g less.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind life vests or personal flotation devices and the challenges met by these devices.

In this activity, learners transform everyday milk into small plastic figurines and jewelry. Use this activity to introduce learners to monomers and polymers.

The goal of this activity is to design the fastest sailboat or one that carries the most treasure.

In this quick and easy activity, learners build an air cannon "drum" and see what happens when they "shoot" puffs of air at different targets.

This experiment describes how to create a "dribble bottle" which only leaks water when the cap is unscrewed. The full water bottle has a small hole made with a push pin.

In this activity learners will measure and manipulate flubber using different tools. Learners will explore volume and make observations about texture and shapes.

In this activity, learners construct a simple electrolysis device. With this device, learners can decompose water into its elemental components: hydrogen and oxygen gas.

In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.

Learners observe a bottle containing water and oil. They are invited to pick up the bottle and mix the contents together.

In this activity, learners explore moving air and the physics of lift and drag by constructing homemade wind tunnels.

Learners test solutions of water, sugar, salt, and hydrochloric acid for electrical conductivity. They immerse leads from a lighting device (a battery pack connected to an LED) into each solution.

In this activity, learners separate materials based on their special properties to mimic the way recyclables are sorted at recycling centers.

In this introductory activity, learners discover that sugar and food coloring dissolve in water but neither dissolves in oil.

In this activity, learners make a helium balloon "flink"--neither float away nor sink to the ground. Use this activity to introduce physics concepts related to gravity, density, and weight.

This activity provides instructions for using cornstarch and water to make an ooze which has the properties of both a solid and liquid.

In this chemistry experiment, learners get to make a very bizarre substance using corn starch and water. Is it a solid? Is it a liquid? Or is it a different kind of substance entirely?

In this activity, learners will explore acid-base reactions and create their own bubbly results.
