Collect Oxygen Over Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a pneumatic trough (see related activity) to generate and collect pure oxygen.
Stories in the Sky
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create their own constellations and star patterns and write a short, descriptive story explaining the significance of their star pattern/constellation.
Battleships: Searching Algorithms
Source Institutions
This activity explores the main algorithms that are used as the basis for searching on computers, using different variations on the game of battleships.
Chromatography Can Separate!
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners use thin layer chromatography to determine the molecular composition of different markers.
Absorb & Repel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how different materials repel or absorb water. Learners use spray bottles to explore how everyday items like sponges, cardboard, feathers, etc.
Digit's Cyber-Dough
Source Institutions
In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.
The Scoop on Habitat
Source Institutions
Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.
Rotating Light
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore what happens when polarized white light passes through a sugar solution.
Touch the Spring (Lightbulb)
Source Institutions
In this activity, a lightbulb is placed in front of a concave mirror. The actual lightbulb is not visible to the viewer, but the viewer can see the mirror image of the lightbulb formed in space.
Design For All: Project Playground
Source Institutions
In this design challenge, learners will practice empathy and design thinking skills by creating a play space that is fun, both for themselves and other kids.
M&M's in Different Temperatures
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to investigate whether the temperature of the surrounding water affects the rate at which the colored coating dissolves from an M&M.
Exploring Baking Powder
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine baking powder, a combination of three powders: baking soda, cream of tartar, and cornstarch.
Drying It Out
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate and compare the rate of drying in different conditions.
Separating with Chromatography
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners separate different types of molecules in marker inks (using a technique called "thin layer chromatography").
Comparing the Density of an Object to the Density of Water
Source Institutions
Learners compare the weight of equal volumes of wax, water, and clay. Learners discover that since the wax weighs less than an equal volume of water, it is less dense than water and will float.
Beaded Braids: Investigating Patterns & Ratios
Source Institutions
In this activity learners create patterns of hair beads.
Soccer
Source Institutions
In this math activity (Page 12 of the Play Ball! PDF), learners play a game of "soccer" and analyze the results of the game.
Formation of a Precipitate
Source Institutions
Learners create hard water by mixing Epsom salt and water. Then they compare what happens when soap solution is mixed with hard water and regular water.
Marble Game
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a simple game to test their hand-eye coordination and steadiness of hand.
Pneumatic Trough
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a "pneumatic trough," a laboratory apparatus used for collecting pure gas samples over water.
