In this activity, learners will be working with a sort of scientific magic, capillary action! They will set up 3 cups of water of different colors, connect them with paper towels and wait.

In this physics activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will make their very own working compass.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners observe a chemical reaction that produces a colorful effect.

In this activity, learners will explore the dynamics of air pressure by using a candle, a cup, and a dish of water.

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

Learners build simple catapults and use them to launch cotton balls.

In this activity learners compare the bounciness of warm and cold racquetballs to see if temperature makes a difference in how well they bounce.

In this activity on page 9 of the PDF, learners make their own paint using chalk as a pigment and glue and water as binders. This activity introduces learners to special mixtures called suspensions.

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

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

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.

Many germs spread by our hands, and often times, people don't wash their hands well enough to get rid of germs.

In this activity, learners will imagine the challenges and opportunities of asteroid mining.

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 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.

Learners construct a bird feeder from re-used materials. After hanging their feeder, they keep a journal about what birds visit the feeder.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to investigate how, in a one-celled organism such as a bacterium, the division of cells increases the number of cell
