In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate air has weight by comparing an inflated balloon to a deflated one.

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use pennies to test their hearing acuity.

In this health activity, learners create a device so that they not only feel their heartbeat, but also see it, using a straw and some clay.

In this activity, learners practice matching and subitizing as they create the longest domino train possible.

In this activity, learners investigate static electricity using everyday objects at four different stations.
