In this activity, learners will use static elecricity to bend a stream of water without touching it. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.

Build a hydrometer (measures the density of a liquid) using a pipet or eyedropper.

In this physics activity, learners use square blocks to explore how towers fall. Learners attach a piece of string to the side of a block and then construct a tall tower on top of this base block.

Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!

In this sunny day activity, learners compare how a cup of water and a cup of tonic water reflect or refract light in the sun.

Make snack time into measuring time and learn to read Nutrition Facts labels. Try this when you’re using “pourable” foods, such as cereal, yoghurt, or juice.

In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.

In this activity, learners examine the culture and history of the tomb site.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of valve operation and how engineers have adapted valves for use in mechanical heart valve design.

In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.

In this demonstration, learners can observe a number of small convection cells generated from a mixture of aluminum powder and silicon oil on a hot plate.

In this activity, learners explore surgical instrument design. Teams of learners construct surgical instruments from everyday materials.

In this activity about phase change and condensation, learners boil water in an empty pop bottle in the microwave.

In this activity, learners build their own sound machines and explore the interplay of motion and sound.

In this activity, learners watch a figure "magically" float up through the air.

In this activity, learners simulate the energy transfer between the earth and space by using the light from a desk lamp desk lamp with an incandescent bulb and a stack of glass plates.

In this engineering/design/arts and crafts activity, learners design and build "platforms" or "bridges" that can hold weight, and test which glue makes the strongest structure.

In this challenge, learners have to figure out in what order to combine five solutions to change the color from clear, to yellow, to blue, and back to clear.
