In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized "whiskers" can protect clothing from stains.

In this activity, learners use a compact disc to make a spectrometer, an instrument used to measure properties of light.

This is part 3 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. Before starting this section, learners must have completed part 1: sedimentary rock and part 2: metamorphic rocks.

In this activity, learners create models of ionic compounds and observe the chemical formula of binary molecules they have created.

In this activity on page 8 of the PDF, learners make a slimy substance very similar to mucus, and sprinkle it with glitter to imitate the way that allergens are trapped.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can utilize it to investigate volume, mass, and density.

Using simple, inexpensive items, learners build and test submarine models.

In this activity (page 89 of the PDF), learners compare and contrast pitch and roll motions by using a Magic Carpet maze similar to one that was used for Neurolab investigations about microgravity.

Learners analyze mixtures of dyes using filter paper chromatography. They place spots of the different dyes at the bottom of a piece of filter paper, and hang the paper to touch the surface of water.

In this activity, learners explore liquid crystal thermometers to observe how heat flows by conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation.

In this activity (on page 146 of the PDF), learners will explore the effects of increased carbon dioxide in the bloodstream.

This is an activity about friction as well as kinetic and potential energy.

In this activity, learners use a tuning fork to explore how the Doppler effect works.

In this chemistry activity, learners will separate a mixture of FD&C dyes (colors certified and allowed by the US for the Food, Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics & Personal Care industry) to practice

An ordinary camera has a lens that makes an image on film. In a pinhole camera, a small hole replaces the lens.

In this activity, learners of all ages can become food scientists by experimenting with flour and water to make basic pasta.

From this How To slide show, you create an Audio Tape Bow that can play distorted audio sounds by running it across a tape head.

Put on a pair of gloves and be the conductor of your invisible orchestra!

In this activity, learners use simple, everyday materials to experiment with balls and ramps.

In this activity, learners can observe chaotic motion. A magnet tied to a piece of string makes a pendulum, which swings over three sets of fixed magnets.
