Learners place multiple M&M's in a plate of water to watch what happens as the candies dissolve.

In this crime science activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners will explore the uniqueness of fingerprints. The will learn components of fingerprints as well as why fingerprints are left behind.

In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

In this activity, learners investigate and compare the rate of drying in different conditions.

In this experiment, learners separate different types of molecules in marker inks (using a technique called "thin layer chromatography").

In this activity, explore chromatography and the various colors that make up the ink in markers. Use this activity to investigate cohesion and adhesion.

In this math activity, learners create their own units of measurement by making noodle rulers. Learners practice estimating and measuring objects using the noodle rulers .

In this simple activity, learners see the production of a gas, which visibly fills up a balloon placed over the neck of a bottle.

In this activity, learners will conduct an open-ended survey, and then organize and analyze results. What languages does everyone speak? What’s the most common? the least common?

In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

In this family or group inquiry activity, learners use their senses to explore a local forest or woodland.

In this activity (on page 2), pairs of learners create an imaginary crime scene. One person leaves the room while the other person moves a few things around.

This is an activity which will allow learners to gain an understanding of lemur behavior through observation and role play.

In this activity, learners explore how ordinary marshmallows expand when heated in a microwave.

In this online Flash game, learners will explore a coral reef using an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

In this activity, learners make plates levitate! Learners build "hovercrafts" using simple materials to explore friction and motion.

In this activity, learners build an electric two-paddle boat using paint paddles, plastic knives, and empty water bottles.

Trick your family and friends with this creepy crawler that moves up and down. In this activity, learners construct a circuit and motor device that will move a homemade spider in a spooky way.

In this activity, learners investigate diffusion by creating underwater "fireworks" using food coloring, oil and water.

In this activity, learners use simple materials to create giant bubbles.
