In this hands-on science experiment, students combine their understanding of the different states of matter and the characteristics of various chemical reactions.

In this activity, learners create and reveal secret messages written with invisible ink! The invisible ink is actually a baking soda solution, and the magical revealing liquid is fruit juice.

In this online activity exploring our perception of "cuteness," learners adjust various factors (like pupil size or length of limbs) on a face, a cat, and a hammer.

Learners observe and compare the sizes of three toy “growing” crocodiles made from water-absorbent polymers. One is it its original state, dry, hard, and about 10cm long.

In this activity, learners will use chemistry to create a night sky watercolor painting. They will experiment to learn the effects of mixing crayon, salt, and lemon juice with water color paints.

In this simple and fun activity, learners discover the relationship between vibration and sound by making a squeaky toy instrument out of simple household materials.

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

Sound can travel through a variety of media.

Learners grow sugar crystals (rock candy). They make a hot solution that has an excess of sugar dissolved in it, then as the solution cools, they see sugar crystals form.

In this game, students will become familiar with fish shapes, learn that fish within a given taxonomic family have similar body shapes, and discuss how different body shapes enable fish to survive in

In this activity, learners create a water prism to break light into the seven colors of the rainbow.

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore turtle basic adaptations and biology. Turtle external anatomy is explored by "building" a turtle with a nature collage.

In this activity, learn about the cultural stories behind constellations. Then recreate your favorite constellations using marshmallows and toothpicks.

The Let's Do Chemistry "Build a Battery" activity lets participants learn how batteries work and how materials behave, change, and interact by building their own simple battery out of metal and felt w

In this activity, learners explore the importance of active play.

“Exploring Earth: Rising Sea” is a hands-on activity demonstrating ways to use topographical mapping techniques to track changes in sea level. The activity is connected to current NASA research.

In this activity, learners discover that it is difficult to trace a curve by using its reflection in a mirror. Use this activity to discuss how the brain works.

In this activity, learners observe a quick phase change as water rapidly goes from a liquid state to a solid state.

In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a layered drink with liquids of different densities.
