In this activity, learners explore an everyday situation, where either of two or more buttons can ring a buzzer.

In this activity, learners explore two properties of gases: gases take up space and exert pressure. Learners assemble two flasks and a beaker, connecting them with stoppers and tubing.

In this chemistry meets cooking activity, learners compare the stability of egg white foams with various additives.

In this activity, learners explore the design of rubber band powered cars. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own rubber band cars out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners explore what makes a boat float and sink. They examine and test various objects to determine why objects float or sink.

In this activity, learners create a sound visualizer from common materials to help see the vibrations created by sound. Sounds from a tone generator make salt dance on a vibrating balloon membrane.

In this activity, learners use a compass, powerful magnet, and copper magnet wire to build a special generator known as a dynamo.

In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

In this activity (located on page 3 of the PDF), learners investigate the way water moves and how we can control and direct water.

This is an activity exploring color and color mixing.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation about the different causes of glacial melt.

Everybody loves bubbles, and this is the best bubble recipe ever!

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Music and Sound) is a full inquiry investigation into sound frequency.

In this fascinating and fun experiment, learners use chemistry to identify a mystery powder and to solve a "crime," a process similar to that used by real forensic scientists.

In this activity, learners make an electroscope out of a foam cup, straw, aluminum pie pan, thread, and foil. Learners use their electroscopes to test for static electricity.

In this activity, learners construct their own spectroscope as they explore and observe spectra from familiar light sources.

In this activity, learners build rockets and shoot them into the air by stomping on the plastic bottle launchers.

In this activity, learners build a switch to turn electrical circuits on and off.

In this activity, learners visualize the differences in water density and relate this to the potential consequences of increased glacial melting.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.
