In this activity (3rd activity on the page), learners taste test different foods and categorize them as sweet, bitter, sour, or salty. Learners compare their results with the group.

In this activity, learners construct and launch rockets using simple materials and their understanding of chemical reactions.

In this activity, learners will use static elecricity to bend a stream of water without touching it. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this activity, learners watch a figure "magically" float up through the air.

In this challenge, learners have to figure out in what order to combine five solutions to change the color from clear, to yellow, to blue, and back to clear.

In this activity, learners investigate the reflective properties of light and mirrors as they make a kaleidoscope.

In this activity, learners work together to interpret an "alien message." The group pretends that this is the only message from an imaginary civilization, so there is no "key" and thus no "correct" wa

In this experiment, learners try different liquids to see which ones clean pennies best. Liquids to try include water, lemon juice, cola, vinegar, and dishwashing detergent.

In this chemistry activity, learners use the lowered freezing point of water to chill another mixture (ice cream) to the solid state.

Learners analyze candy-coated sweets using chromatography. Learners use this method to separate the various dyes used to make colored candy.

In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.

In this physics activity (page 12 of the PDF), learners explore potential and kinetic energy by rolling different sized marbles down an inclined plane.

In this activity, learners play with surprising sand that doesn’t get wet! Learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "magic sand" and regular sand.

In this coin math activity, learners sort and stack 100 (one hundred) pennies into piles of 5 pennies each, 10 pennies each, and 20 pennies each.

This is a hands-on activity exploring how nanoscale particles are used in mineral sunblocks to increase their transparency.

In this activity, learners explore the relationship between cooling water vapor and condensation. Learners investigate condensation forming on the outside of a cold cup.

In this activity, learners observe hard parts of sea creatures (shells, molts, etc.) to better understand marine environments.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

In this activity, learners explore the real science behind an egg drop "magic trick." Learners will wow their families by harnessing gravity, friction and motion to make 3 eggs fall off of their pedes

How many colors make black? Gather as many water soluble black markers as you can find.
