Gassy Lava Lamp
Source Institutions
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.
Catapult
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build mini catapults using paint paddles and a spoon. Use this activity to introduce learners to forces and projectile motion.
Milli's Super Sorting Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners separate materials based on their special properties to mimic the way recyclables are sorted at recycling centers.
Train Your Brain
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a trick on their own brain to see if the brain can learn to ignore distracting input. Colors and words are used to play the visual trick, known as a Stroop Test.
Balloon Flinker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a helium balloon "flink"--neither float away nor sink to the ground. Use this activity to introduce physics concepts related to gravity, density, and weight.
Dance Diagram
Source Institutions
Teams of learners use a series of stick figures made from pipe cleaners to model a dance routine. Then, they use this model to communicate to another learner who performs the dance routine.
Mint Your Own Coin
Source Institutions
Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

In this activity, learners will make and launch feather rockets. Lerners will use science process skils such as making predictions and measuring while launching the rockets.
Dancing Raisins
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore density and it's relationship with mass.
Paper Cup Stool
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.
Personal Fan

Penny Jar: Estimating for Charity
Source Institutions
Learners will collect pennies to donate and will combine charitable giving with estimating and calculating with money. To start choose a charity or something to save up for together.
Constellation Scope
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners explore the basic shapes of constellations by making their own scope out of a cardboard tube and paper with pinpricks.
Experimenting with Symmetry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use pattern blocks and mirrors to explore symmetry. Learners work in pairs and build mirror images of each other's designs.
Create a Compass
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple materials to build their own compass.
Magnetism
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the principles of magnetism by observing how various materials interact with magnets and superconductors.
Go with the Flow
Source Institutions
Learners draw comic-style pictures to show the water cycle. From a starting picture, one learner draws what happens to the water in the next panel, then passes the comic strip to another learner.
Slush Rush
Source Institutions
In this online game, learners run an outer space drink stand and thirsty alien customers are on the way.
