Make a quick and easy filter from household materials. A filter will catch any solids suspended in a liquid and filter them out. By using a filter, learners can discover amazing things.

In this environmental activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners identify household products that are recyclable and explore the different types of recyclable plastics.

In this activity, learners will create a magnifying glass called a waterscope, using water and household items, to examine various objects.

In this activity, learners explore the real science behind an egg drop "magic trick." Learners will wow their families by harnessing gravity, friction and motion to make 3 eggs fall off of their pedes

This is an activity about center of gravity. Learners will balance a fork on a glass by finding its center of gravity.

Create 3D glasses and use them to explore color, light and optics. Fool your brain into 'seeing' three dimensions on a flat surface!

In this activity, learners search for various kinds of items made from minerals around their home or school, including toothpaste, wall paint, kitty litter, and bricks.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can explore the process used to cast and mold molten metal, glass, and plastics.

In this activity, learners explore inertia as they attempt to whip a strip of paper out from under two coins dangling on the rim of a water glass.

In this activity, learners examine how colored lenses act like filters and absorb all colors of light except for the color of the lenses.

In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of density by pouring 5 different liquids into a jar. Food coloring is added if needed to give each liquid a distinct color.

In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.

In this optics activity, learners make a lens and explore how the eye manipulates the light that enters it.

In this activity, learners compare different types of salt crystals under a magnifying glass.

In this environmental activity (page 16 of the PDF), learners will calculate the amount of energy they save by recycling paper, plastic, glass, and aluminum materials over the span of a week.

In this activity, learners collect worms and then observe how they move.

In this optics activity, learners use glass and water to demonstrate total internal reflection (TIR).

In this activity, learners examine their tongue and taste buds.

In this activity, learners create a "mini sky" in a glass of water in a dark room.
