Gravity-Defying Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore gravity and air pressure as they experiment with holding a glass full of water upside down, without spilling it, using a simple piece of cardstock.
Tune Booster
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build unique sound enhancing inventions with items from around the house to amplify sound from their smart phone's speakers.
Milk Magic
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment with how dish soap and fat interact by making a colorful swirl.
Shape Detectives
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners cutout a set of shape finder templates to explore shapes in the world around them.
Bubble Geometry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use geometry in observing the shapes and angles soap bubbles create when they join together.
No Pressure
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe what would happen to their bodies if they went to outer space without a space suit.
Bouncy Egg
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how acids can dissolve eggshells leaving behind a membrane-covered bouncy egg.
Instant Ice Cream
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make instant ice cream without using a freezer.
Rocket Mice
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make a model rocket to test the phrase "what goes up must come down." Learners will power their rockets with air pressure, and soon discover the effects of air resistan
Liquid Lava Layers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concepts of density and basic chemical reactions as they create a homemade lava lamp effect using water, oil, food coloring, and Alka-Seltzer tablets.
