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 will be introduced to biomass gasification and will generate their own biomass gases.

In this quick activity about predicting (located on page 2 of the PDF under Where's Nano?

In this activity, learners explore the concept of conducting or insulating electricity.

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

In this activity, learners make water-walking critters using thin wire, and then test how many paper clips these critters can carry without sinking.

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 design and physics challenge, learners construct a cylindrical wing, fly it, make modifications, and determine how the changes affect flight patterns.

In this activity, learners observe color mixing and absorbency using colored tissue paper and spray bottles.

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 will measure the length of their shadow from the Sun and compare it three to four months later.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners determine the location of cold and warm fronts on weather plot maps.

In this activity with several mini experiments, learners explore the chemistry that helps scientists learn about the environment and how they can help save it.

In this demonstration/activity, learners observe as a regular size marshmallow is blown through a tube made from a manila file folder.

In this activity (on pages 29-35), learners examine water pollution and filtration.

In this activity (posted on March 20, 2011), learners follow the steps to construct a stroboscope, a device that exploits the persistence of vision to make moving objects appear slow or stationary.

In this activity, learners explore how mirrors reflect light and change the way we see things.

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.
