In this activity, learners will create an optical illusion top. Learners will explore color mixing, physics and design through this activity.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate the effect of the weight of air over our heads.

In this activity/demo, learners are introduced to the connection between medieval stained glass artisans and nanotechnology.

In this activity, challenge learners to design a roller coaster ride for a marble using cardboard and other simple materials.

Use this Moon Map Guide to help learners identify features on the Moon, while looking through a telescope.

In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about crystals by growing their very own.

In this activity, learners make bridges using an oil-based modeling clay (plasticene). The instructions include discussion questions for both before and after bridge building.

In this amazing activity about light and reflection, learners will use a pie plate and reflective strips from a mylar balloon to try to morph their face into a friend's.

In this demonstration about force and motion, learners will explore the forces that affect a pendulum A simple model pendulum comprised of a ball and string demonstrates how pendulums work as well as

In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will see that chewing is more than just the crushing up of food; there is actually a chemical change going on at the same time.

In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

Using electrolysis, learners produce hydrogen gas and oxygen gas from water molecules in a solution.

Learners make their own acid-base indicator from red cabbage. They use this indicator to test substances around the house.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners (with adult help and supervision) investigate how heat affects polystyrene plastic.

In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.

In this activity, learners use oil, water, food coloring and antacid tablets to create a bubbling lava lamp. Use this activity to introduce concepts related to density, hydrophobicity vs.

During this activity, learners will make different versions of "ooze" using varied proportions of detergent and glue.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing their very own banjo out of a coffee can. Learners experiment with the canjo to change the instrument's pitch and timbre.

Learners observe a bottle containing water and oil. They are invited to pick up the bottle and mix the contents together.

In this activity, learners will experiment with the physics of forces - kinetic energy and friction while making a moving toy woodpecker.
