Plants Around a Building
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.
Temperature Tactics
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.
Launch Altitude Tracker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.
Using Ohm's Law to Build a Voltage Divider
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners apply Ohm’s Law to construct voltage divider circuits. Learners discover how to read resistor codes and calculate resistor values.
Momentos de Mixing in Math: Varias Actividades Matemáticas de 5 ó 10 Minutos
Source Institutions
Los Momentos de Mixing in Math son actividades de 5 a 10 minutos que mantienen a los chicos ocupados, aprendiendo sobre el mundo, y usando matemáticas por su cuenta.
Colors of Stars
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe colors in the flame of a burning candle to explore connections between matter, light, color and temperature -- basic concepts of matter and energy.
I Am/Who Has: A Litter Matching Game
Source Institutions
In this game, learners match descriptions of marine debris (shoes, batteries, paper towels, etc.) to images of these items.
Balancing Act
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore their center of gravity.
A Question of Balance
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers use scales and measures when designing a manufacturing process to ensure that final products are uniform in weight or count.
Can You Copperplate?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore chemical engineering and how the processes of chemical plating and electroplating have impacted many industries.
Roller Coasters
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.
Wandering Wands
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct wands that play different notes depending on information from light sensors programmed via a PICO Cricket.

In this activity about olfaction (7th activity on the page), learners use natural ingredients to concoct their own perfume.
Our Place in Our Galaxy
Source Institutions
In this fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity, learners construct a model of our place in the Milky Way Galaxy and the distribution of stars, with a quarter and some birdseed.
Think Fast!: Just How Quick Are You?
Source Institutions
This is an activity about reaction times. Just how quickly must an NHL goalie respond to save a shot, and how does your reaction time compare?
A Universe of Galaxies: How is the Universe Structured?
Source Institutions
This fun hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore models of the Milky Way and other galaxies to get a sense of relative distances to other galaxies.
Crystal Packin' Mama
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the basic crystal structures that metal atoms form.
Go with the Flow
Source Institutions
In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty soda cans to illustrate Bernoulli's principle.
Exploration Tank
Source Institutions
This is a guide for facilitating interaction at a touch tank with marine animals. The instructions are for setting up a display in an informal science center, but could work anywhere.
Feel the Heat
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners design and build a solar hot water heater. Their goal is to create a heater that yields the highest temperature change.
