In this activity, learners explore the real science behind an egg drop "magic trick." Learners will wow their families by harnessing gravity, friction and motion to make 3 eggs fall off of their pedes

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out if steel wool will weigh more or less when it is burned. Learners will explore the effects of oxidation and rusting on the steel wool.

In this physics activity about rotational inertia, learners use a spinning top made out of a bottle cap and a nail to explore how changing the axis of rotation affects how the energy is used.

In this activity, learners explore liquid crystals, light and temperature. Using a postcard made of temperature-sensitive liquid crystal material, learners monitor temperature changes.

How many colors make black? Gather as many water soluble black markers as you can find.

In this online simulation, learners can see adaptation and camouflage in action.

In this activity, learners will build an instrument from common household items. Explore sound through vibrations created by your vocal chords and captured by an instrument.

In this activity, learners will construct an air cannon as a model for the human ear.

In this activity (on page 4), learners create a submarine using a plastic sandwich bag. This is a fun way to learn about buoyancy and how captured gas can cause objects to float.

In this activity, learners create a tornado in a bottle to observe a spiraling, funnel-shaped vortex. A simple connector device allows water to drain from a 2-liter bottle into a second bottle.

This strategy game has simple rules but can be a challenge. Players start with an empty hexagonal grid. On each turn, a player initials one empty hexagon on the grid.

As learners play this game, they develop logic, geometry, and spatial visualization skills. Players start out with an empty hexagonal grid.

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners investigate yeast. Learners prepare an experiment to observe what yeast cells like to eat.

In this activity, learners use geometry to predict the shape of carbon. Learners twist and attach chenille stem pieces that represent bonds between different carbon atoms.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners use simple materials to investigate evaporation. How can the evaporation of water on a hot day be used to cool an object? Find out the experimental way!

In this activity, learners make mobiles to explore the concepts of balance, counterbalance, weight, and counterweight.

In this outdoor activity, learners play a game of Tag to discover how neurons attach themselves to each other to form a chain.

Learners test two jars containing hot water, one covered with plastic and one open, for changes in temperature.

In this math game, learners toss plastic cups to land just right and collect points to win.

En esta actividad la tira cómica muestra a los participantes como pueden hacer un experimento simple para ver cuales líquidos son ácidos.
