In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will make a can that will roll back after it has been rolled away to observe the interactions of kinetic and potential energy.
Colors Collide or Combine
Source Institutions
Learners place multiple M&M's in a plate of water to watch what happens as the candies dissolve.
Exploring Materials: Liquid Crystals
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that the way a material behaves on the macroscale is affected by its structure on the nanoscale.
Building a Basic Series Circuit
Source Institutions
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to build and examine a basic electrical circuit.
Your Age on Other Worlds
