In this activity, learners use water, oil, and food coloring to observe a chemical reaction that creates a shower of colors inside of a glass.

In this activity, learners will build a stomp-powered launcher to blast off paper rockets they design. Materials can be found at a local hardware store or you may already have them at home.

In this earth science activity, learners conduct a series of short experiments to explore how rocks change.

In this activity, learners work in teams to build and test paper airplanes. Learners try to fly their airplanes directly on the runway and earn points for accuracy.

In this activity, learners will discover how fossils are dug out of the earth by carefully exposing treasures hidden in an artificial rock that is easily made at home.

In this activity, learners play a game to simulate the food chain.

In this activity, learners will investigate the sounds of the heart.

In this activity, learners separate a mixture of pebbles, salt crystals, and wood pieces. They add water and pour the mixture through a strainer.

In this activity, learners explore how distance can affect the way we perceive the size of an object.

In this chemistry activity, learners transform two ingredients (4% polyvinyl alcohol solution and 4% borax solution) into gooey slime.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

Exponga estos pósteres en el salón o déjelos donde los chicos los puedan explorar. Los chicos buscan las respuestas en libros de consulta, explorando el salón, y usando su creatividad.

In this outdoor science/art activity, learners investigate spider webs by using string to create their own spider webs.

In this activity, learners compare their own strength to ants through a series of physical tests.

In this activity, learners build styrofoam boats powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a wind-powered car using only a handful of household materials.

In this activity, learners transform everyday milk into small plastic figurines and jewelry. Use this activity to introduce learners to monomers and polymers.

This game plays a dozen different sounds, altered to simulate what they would sound like if you had hearing loss.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Plants—The Green Machines), learners examine the effects that light and air have on green plants.

In this activity about magnetism (page 13 of the pdf), learners will experiment with magnets to explore how water and other liquids affect the strength of magnetic fields.
