Luminescence
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity about luminescence, learners explore the chemistry that happens inside glow sticks and other light producing reactions.
Where Does the Wind Blow?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate wind by comparing the force of wind in different locations. Learners build wind-o-meters out of wooden sticks and strips of paper.
Sliding Gray Step
Source Institutions
How can you make one shade of gray look like two? By putting it against two different color backgrounds! This activity allows learners to perform this sleight of hand very easily.
What's the Angle?
Source Institutions
This activity helps learners understand how the angle of the Sun affects temperatures around the globe.
Curious Crystals
Source Institutions
Learners carefully look at four known household crystals.
Applying Math to Astronomy
Source Institutions
In this mathematics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore the relationship between the diameter and circumference of an object.
Potato Straw
Source Institutions
In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to insert a straw the furthest into a potato.
Color Me Blue
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners add dilute bleach solution to water that has been dyed with yellow, blue, and green food color.
Nature of Density
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will explore the concepts of density and matter in their quest to answer one simple question-will it sink or will it float?
Design a Park
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!
Rollin’ Rollin' Rollin'
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 12 of the PDF), learners explore potential and kinetic energy by rolling different sized marbles down an inclined plane.
Daffy Density
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners explore density by using four solids and 6 liquids to create colorful, layered rows.
Caterpillar Measure
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners use different-sized paper 'caterpillars' and various household items to predict and measure their height.
Work Up An Appetite
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners participate in fun movement activities while playing on a giant game board. Use this activity to get learners involved in physical activity.
Dinosaur Breath
Through discussion and hands-on experimentation, learners examine the geological (ancient) carbon cycle.
Kool Colors
Source Institutions
Learn about dyes and mordants (fixatives) when you tie-dye fabric with Kool-Aid™ and vinegar. The colored molecules in Kool-Aid™ form a chemical bond between the fiber and dye molecules.
Inner Strength
Source Institutions
In this activity about endoskeletons (page 8 of PDF), learners observe, compare and contrast different kinds of chicken bones, and relate their chicken bone observations to human bones.
Gelatin Used for Drug Delivery
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how gelatin can be used as a medium for drug delivery. Learners create colored gelatin and then cut out pieces of the gelatin to simulate medicine (pills).
Tall Tower Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use their chosen material to build the tallest tower possible in under three minutes. This activity uses problem solving and fine motor skills to challenge learners.
Rolling Action Art
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners of all ages will roll a ball coated with paint to artistically visualize the motion of the object.
