In this activity, which requires adult supervision, learners get to explore the awesome power of chemistry.

In this activity, high voltage is applied across a pickle to emit a yellow glow. This activity should only be conducted by skilled adults and is best suited as a demonstration.

In this activity about electricity, learners explore what happens when you blow a fuse.

In this activity, learners create their own obstacle course based on Bernoulli's Principle and try to get a floating ball from the start of their course to the finish line.

In this activity (located on pages 9-14 of PDF), learners visit a cemetery to examine the distinguishing characteristics of rock weathering.

Learners investigate signs of a chemical reaction when they mix vinegar and baking soda. In addition to a gas being produced, learners also notice the temperature decreases.

Heat makes some materials expand, and it makes others shrink.

In this activity, learners heat and cool carbonated water to find out whether temperature has an effect on how fast the dissolved gas leaves carbonated water.

In this activity, learners discover that a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In this kitchen chemistry activity, learners explore the chemistry of crystals by making sugar crystals, consider a common chemical reaction type responsible for the rising of muffins and cake in the

Challenge popular misconceptions, learners explore how a mirror actually reflects an image in this activity.

In this Engineering Design Challenge activity, learners will use balloons to investigate how a multi-stage rocket, like that used in the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, can propel a sat

In this activity, learners explore motion and airflow by setting two aluminum cans on their side and blowing air in-between them.

In this activity, learners will discover why there are holes in bread.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forensics) is a full inquiry investigation into how hairs from a crime scene are matched to suspects.

In this activity, learners investigate sound and vibration by making a "bee hummer"--a toy that sounds like a swarm of buzzing bees when you spin it around.

In this activity, learners explore ray optics. Learners discover that they can use a magnifying glass to create an upside-down image.

This activity provides instructions for building a mirrored tube--a smaller and simpler version of a submarine's periscope--that lets you see around corners and over walls.

In this activity, learners create and understand surface currents. Learners create example surface currents and discover how landmasses affect the current.

In this activity about electricity and magnetism, learners examine what happens when a magnet exerts a force on a current-carrying wire.
