In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity), learners will model how caves are formed by placing one piece of chalk in a cup of vinegar and another piece in a cup of water, then

In this activity, learners investigate static electricity using everyday objects at four different stations.

In this activity, learners use chocolate to explore how the Sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation.

This hands-on activity demonstrates how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In this activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate visually and physically that air has weight. Learners balance two equally-inflated balloons hanging from string on a yard stick.

In this online activity, learners experience the thrill of pickle making, and explore how a cucumber becomes a pickle.

In this challenge, learners make a helium balloon hover in one spot and then move it through an obstacle course using air currents.

In this activity (pages 8-9), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.

In this activity, learners will explore saturated solutions and discover how crystals form.

In this quick activity, learners observe how wind creates ocean currents.

In this two-part activity, learners explore the properties of liquid crystals, which are responsible for why mood rings change color.

In this activity/demonstration, learners observe what happens when two ping pong balls are suspended in the air by a hair dryer. Use this activity to demonstrate how rain drops grow by coalescence.

In this activity, learners build small indoor paper rockets, determine their flight stability, and launch them by blowing air through a drinking straw.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the rule "likes dissolve likes" by combining three, immiscible liquids to create a colorful density column.

In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.

This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

In this activity, learners predict whether a ball on Earth or a ball on the Moon bounces higher when dropped and why.

In this activity, learners will investigate the part of soil. Explore how clay, silt, and sand make up the dirt in your background. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.

In this activity, learners create a straw oboe to explore sound and pitch.

In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.
