This hands-on activity demonstrates how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In this activity (pages 32-41), learners learn how the atomic and molecular arrangement of matter are related to physical properties.

In this online activity, learners experience the thrill of pickle making, and explore how a cucumber becomes a pickle.

In this activity (pages 8-9), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.

In this activity, learners will explore saturated solutions and discover how crystals form.

The objective of this inquiry-based lesson is for learners to gain an understanding of how increasing ocean acidity can affect the calcification of marine organisms.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the rule "likes dissolve likes" by combining three, immiscible liquids to create a colorful density column.

In this activity, learners discuss how life is defined and conduct a simple experiment, looking for signs of life in three different “soil” samples.

This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

In this chemistry challenge, learners combine acids and bases in a universal indicator to create five different colors.

In this activity, learners explore the chemical reaction between water and effervescent antacid tablets. This hands-on activity models how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this simple chemistry activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Colorblind Dogs) about acids and bases, learners will mix a baking soda and water solution and use it to paint a message on a

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a lemon slice appears to magically levitate within a pint glass.

In this outdoor activity, learners make their own organic-rich soil. Depending on where this activity is done, learners will probably discover that their local soil is low in organic matter.

In this activity, learners investigate whether having sugar already dissolved in water affects the speed of dissolving and the movement of sugar and color through the water.

In this activity, learners experiment with how dish soap and fat interact by making a colorful swirl.

In this activity with several mini experiments, learners explore the chemistry that helps scientists learn about the environment and how they can help save it.

How do you measure a bubble when it's floating? You can't really, but in this activity, learners can measure the diameter of the ring of suds a bubble leaves on a flat surface.

This activity shows you how to make amazing crystal spikes using Epsom salt and the sun.
