In this activity, learners discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.

In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).

In this activity, learners add food coloring to hot and cold water to see whether heating or cooling affects the speed of water molecules.

In this physical activity, two lines of learners link hands and arms to model a beam subject to various loading schemes.

In this activity about water's cohesive and adhesive properties and why water molecules are attracted to each other, learners test if objects repel or absorb water.

Learners create their own piece of history by decorating, shattering, and piecing together a flowerpot "artifact".

In this activity (on page 4), learners create a submarine using a plastic sandwich bag. This is a fun way to learn about buoyancy and how captured gas can cause objects to float.

In this activity, learners explore how pneumatics and hydraulics could be used to produce movement in a robotic arm.

With a coffee filter, a black marker, and a cup of water, discover the secret colors hidden in black ink.

In this activity, learners discover the difficulty of ocean exploration by human beings as they investigate water pressure.

In this chemistry activity, learners observe a combustion reaction and deduce the components necessary for the reaction to occur.

In this activity on page 15 of the PDF, discover how materials and physical forces behave differently at the nanoscale.

In this hands-on activity, learners will construct a scuba diver that can float in order to explore how sea creatures stay neutrally buoyant in the ocean and to see what kinds of forces might be influ

In this activity on page 15 of the PDF, learners measure the amount of bubbles that they make using a detergent.

This activity uses LEGO® bricks to represent atoms bonding into molecules and crystals. The lesson plan is for a 2.5 hour workshop (or four 45-minute classes).

In this on site "field trip" activity (located on pages 6-9 of PDF), learners get hands-on experience identifying building materials by playing "Building Bingo".

In this activity, learners discover how a super-absorbing material can be used to move a straw.

In this biology activity, learners use plastic pipettes to cut wells into the solid gel layer of agar in petri dishes and place solutions of simulated antigen and antibody preparations into the wells.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners observe a chemical reaction that produces a colorful effect.

In this experiment using sprigs of Elodea, learners will observe a natural process that removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from Earth's atmosphere.
