In this activity, learners will create their own lava lamps. Learners will explore density, effervescence and chemistry through this activity.

In this activity (located on page 9 of the PDF), learners are introduced to Aesop's fable, "The Crow and the Pitcher." In the story, a clever crow drops pebbles into a pitcher to cause the water level

In this activity, learners will experiment with different materials that can melt and change ice.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

Learners create three solutions with different levels of salinity. They compare the density of these solutions by coloring them and layering them in a clear plastic cup and in a soda bottle.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

In this activity, learners explore moving air and the physics of lift and drag by constructing homemade wind tunnels.

In this activity (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause

In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

In this activity, learners explore how hot and cold water move. Learners observe that temperature and density affect how liquids rise and fall.
