In this hands-on activity, learners determine the types of chemical reactions achieved when combining different household products.

This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

In this activity, learners build handheld rockets and launchers out of PVC pipes and plastic bottles. Use this activity to demonstrate acceleration, air pressure, and Newton's Laws of Motion.

Learners add two dyes to mineral oil and water, and then compare their miscibility (how well they mix) in each.

In this chemistry activity, learners witness an exothermic reaction, while making their very own, completely usable sidewalk chalk. This is also an excellent activity for exploring color mixing.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

In this chemistry investigation, learners combine common cooking substances (flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, pepper, oil, water, food coloring) to explore mixtures.

In this activity (on page 1), learners role play as atoms to explore how atoms can be rearranged to make different materials.

In this chemistry demonstration, acid rain is simulated in a petri dish.

In this activity, learners discover the principles of edible glass by making a supersaturated sugar solution.

In this activity, learners use marshmallows and gum drops to construct seven models of molecules. Learners classify (solid, liquid or gas) and draw diagrams of the molecules.

In this 7-10 day investigation, learners develop an understanding of waves and tides and their motion through discussion, demonstration, and hands-on activities.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate the effect of the weight of air over our heads.

In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about crystals by growing their very own.

In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine how temperature will affect the height of a soda geyser.

Learners make a refrigerator that works without electricity. The pot-in-pot refrigerator works by evaporation: a layer of sand is placed between two terra cotta pots and thoroughly soaked with water.

Learners explore the Bernoulli effect by building an airfoil (airplane wing) and making it fly.

In this activity, learners use oil, water, food coloring and antacid tablets to create a bubbling lava lamp. Use this activity to introduce concepts related to density, hydrophobicity vs.

In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.

Learners observe a bottle containing water and oil. They are invited to pick up the bottle and mix the contents together.
