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.

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

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 optics activity, learners build a spy tool to secretly view things over walls or around corners.

In this engineering activity, learners construct sturdy geodesic structures out of gumdrops and toothpicks. Use this activity to explore engineering principles as well as sturdy shapes and triangles.

During this activity, learners take part in a variety of tasks which involve moving and balancing different body parts.

In this activity, learners will experiment with salt and ice in order to turn a bag of ingredients into ice cream.

This activity is an investigation of static electricity. What happens when you get "static cling?" Basically, you pile up electrons on one thing, which attracts the protons in something else.

This is an activity about center of gravity. Learners will balance a fork on a glass by finding its center of gravity.

In "Chemistry Makes Scents," participants use their noses to distinguish between chemicals with very similar structures.

In this activity, learners will create a model rocket out of an inflated balloon attached to a straw on a taught string.

In this activity, learners explore the unseen force of friction and how surfaces can slow moving objects at different rates.

Learners use chromatography to separate and analyze the mixture of pigments in leaves. Use this activity to discuss photosynthesis as well as why leaves change color in autumn.

Build a pinwheel that works without wind! This activity contains steps on how to build a parachuting pinwheel out of paper, a film canister, and some brads.

In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.

In this hands-on activity, learners explore static electricity through the use of common household products. They also explore the connection between static electricity and cold weather.

In this activity, learners find out what happens when they cover leaves with pieces of black construction paper. This activity shows learners that plants need sunlight to survive.
