In this collection of demonstrations, learners explore Newton's Laws of Motion.

This simple, yet surprising physics demonstration challenges preconceptions about forces, and demonstrates the strength of atmospheric pressure.

In this demonstration, learners observe as a bottle is placed on a table with wooden hoop balanced on top and a pencil balanced on top of the hoop.

Trick your family and friends with this creepy crawler that moves up and down. In this activity, learners construct a circuit and motor device that will move a homemade spider in a spooky way.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a handkerchief holds water in an upside-down glass.

In this activity, learners construct a three-dimensional ambiguous cube to explore visual illusions and how our brains interpret or misinterpret information.

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 demonstration about momentum, use physics to distinguish between a hard-boiled egg and a raw egg without cracking them open.

In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to break a raw egg just by squeezing it. Learners will be shocked by their inability to complete the deceivingly simple challenge.

In this activity about light and reflection, learners discover that what you see is often affected by what you expect to see.

In this science trick, learners get an egg to stand-up on its long-axis vertical to a table's top.

In this activity about depth perception, learners create an optical illusion in a shoe box.

In this activity (13th on the page), learners complete a simple illusion trick to see through their own hand.

In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to insert a straw the furthest into a potato.

In this simple chemistry activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Colorblind Dogs) about acids and bases, learners will mix a baking soda and water solution and use it to paint a message on a

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a lemon slice appears to magically levitate within a pint glass.

In this demonstration, learners will be "wowed" as three matches burn to form a triangular pyramid shape and "magically" rise off the table.

In this activity, learners try to blow up a balloon hanging inside of an empty bottle.

In this activity, learners discover a trick to release the air out of a balloon without popping it.

In this demonstration, learners attempt to get a large coin through a small hole, the size of a smaller coin.
