The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.

In this hands-on activity, children create their own kites that can fly indoors. Learners are exposed to basic concepts of gravity and air resistance.

Learners will understand the relationship between climate change and sea-level rise.

Are balloons porous or non-porous? In this activity, learners watch an entertaining Mr. O video and conduct a simple experiment to find out.

As a group, learners investigate three packages which are all the same size and shape, but have different contents. One is filled with foam, one is filled with wood, and one is filled with metal.

Learners model the ocean currents that carry hot water from the tropics to northern latitudes.

Break open that used musical toy and squish some Play-Doh over the circuit boards, and you will hear some weird and distorted sounds the manufacturer never intended!

This demonstration/activity helps learners understand why higher elevations are not always warm simply because "hot air rises." Learners use a tire pump to increase the pressure and temperature inside

In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.

Learners observe a flask with a balloon attached over the mouth and inverted inside the flask.

Learners engage in close observation of falling objects. They determine it is the amount of air resistance, not the weight of an object, which determines how quickly an object falls.

In this activity, learners perform a simulated blood test procedure.

In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to insert a straw the furthest into a potato.

In this physics activity (page 12 of the PDF), learners explore potential and kinetic energy by rolling different sized marbles down an inclined plane.

In this chemistry activity, learners explore density by using four solids and 6 liquids to create colorful, layered rows.

This resource contains several mini-explorations using a slide projector as a light source to investigate light and the properties of images.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

In this demonstration, learners compare and contrast regular water ice to dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide). Both samples are placed in a solution of acid-base indicator.

In this activity (on pages 25-31 of PDF), learners soak sponges with different amounts of plaster of paris to simulate different levels of calcification in bone formation.
