This activity is about the mural making process done about 9,000 years ago in Catalhoyuk, Turkey.
Introduction to the Scientific Method
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 26 of the PDF), learners make observations, formulate hypotheses and design a controlled experiment, based on the reaction of carbon dioxide with calcium hydroxide.
Number Sense and Computation: To Half or Half Not
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners use slices of bread and geoboards to explore several ways to divide a rectangle in half. Learners also identify equivalent fractions that represent one-half.
pHun with Cabbage
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners will test the pH of various foods and household substances using cabbage.
Tree-mendous Plots
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners record and graph plant growth and interpret data. Learners plant seeds, and once the seeds sprout, record the change in height of the plants for several days.
Inverse Square Law
Source Institutions
In this math activity related to light, learners explore why a light, such as a candle or a streetlight, looks dimmer the farther away from it we get.
Shaving Cream Nebula Prints
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will swirl paint into shaving cream to make an extravagant nebula print.
Swell Homes
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners find the swollen bumps known as "galls" on various plants and get a closeup look at the parasitic animals living inside.
Protein Bracelets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use beads, which represent amino acids, to create protein bracelets. Learners examine the relationship between amino acids and proteins.
Print Hints
Source Institutions
In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how forensic investigators collect prints from a crime scene. Learners make hand impressions in damp sand and analyze the patterns they observe.
Taking Its Temperature
Source Institutions
In this activity (pages 5-7), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.
Star Power
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a star show and discover how they can prevent light pollution. Using simple materials, learners first design constellation boxes.
Photosynthetic Pictures Are Worth More Than a Thousand Words
Source Institutions
This activity provides an opportunity for learners to observe and examine how carbon dioxide, water, and light produce glucose/starch through a process called photosynthesis.
What's the Matter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners identify different classes of matter based on physical properties.
Exploring the Nanoworld with LEGO Bricks: Structures and Their Construction at the Nanoscale
Source Institutions
In this activity (pages 42-49), learners discover the methods and challenges of building nanoscale structures with macroscale equipment.
Lotus Leaf Effect
Source Institutions
This is a demonstration about how nature inspires nanotechnology. It is easily adapted into a hands-on activity for an individual or groups.
Cheese: Behold the Power of Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners conduct an experiment to get an idea of how cheese is made.
Airboat
Source Institutions
In this activity related to Newton's Laws of Motion, learners build a boat powered by a propeller in the air.
How Do We Find Planets Around Other Stars?
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity describes techniques scientists use to find planets orbiting other stars.
Ramps 2: Ramp Builder
Source Institutions
In this inquiry-based learning activity, learners design, build, and test their own ramps. They are introduced to a variety of materials and explore putting them together.
