Anti-Bubbles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will be making the opposite of a bubble, an anti bubble! This low start up activity is fun, informative, and best of all-a little messy!
Colors in Nature
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create colorful bead bracelets to wear outside while searching for matching colors in plants. Learners will be surprised by the variety of colors in nature.
Recycling Paper
Source Institutions
In this crafty chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make their own paper from used paper they may have otherwise thrown away.
Show Your Colors!
Source Institutions
In this family or group activity, learners conduct a chromatography experiment to reveal the colors that leaves "hide" under their green pigments.
Colored Shadows
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners discover that not all shadows are black. Learners explore human color perception by using colored lights to make additive color mixtures.
Frozen Sculptures
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use objects they find on a nature and water to make creative frozen sculptures.
Exploring Size: Scented Solutions
Source Institutions
This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).
Water Motor
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will explore how energy from moving water can be used.
Wax 'n Wash
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create secret messages using a candle. Learners discover that watercolor paint is attracted to some materials, like paper fibers, but not others, like oil.
Flubber
Source Institutions
Learners experiment with a piece of Silly Putty® by stretching, bouncing, and snapping it. They then create flubber, a similar substance, by mixing diluted glue and a solution of sodium borate.
Bubble Bomb
Source Institutions
Learn about chemical reactions by making a Bubble Bomb, a plastic bag you can pop with the power of fizz.
Globby Gooey Gak
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners concoct some stretchy green goo called Gak. This activity will introduce learners to polymers, chemical reactions, and how scientists invent new materials.
Exploring the Solar System: Magnetic Fields
Source Institutions
The "Exploring the Solar System: Magnetic Fields" activity shows participants how scientists can use tools to study the invisible magnetic fields of Earth, the Sun, and other objects in the universe.
Comparing the Amount of Acid in Different Solutions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use detergent solution to compare two solutions containing vinegar and cream of tartar.
Soak It Up: Understanding Amphibian Permeability
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will discover how the thin layers of amphibians' skin allow water and other chemicals to pass through it.
Temperature Affects Dissolving
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to compare how well cocoa mix dissolves in cold and hot water. They will see that cocoa mix dissolves much better in hot water. Adult supervision recommended.
Exploring the Universe: Star Formation
Source Institutions
In this activity, participants will learn how stars form from the dust and gas that exists in space clumping together.
Exploring Structures: DNA
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a necklace of wheat germ DNA. Learners add alcohol to wheat germ so that the DNA clumps together.
Bubbularium: See the Colors in Bubbles
Source Institutions
With little more than a flashlight, a straw, and a plastic lid, make an observatory so you can see the amazing colors in bubbles.
Windmills
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 8-9 of the PDF), learners will explore wind energy. They will build their own windmill and see how energy from wind can be converted into a useable form.
