Conduction Countdown
Source Institutions
In this quick SciGirls activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design), learners will be introduced to the concept of thermal conductivity.
Measuring Earthquakes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build their your own seismograph with household materials to document shaking.
Finger Knitting
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will learn how to knit using only their hands. Learners will explore patterns and fabrication as well as develop fine motor skills and patience through this activity.
Egg Bungee
Source Institutions
Learners attach an egg to a rubber-band bungee cord and drop the egg.
Kinetic Sculpture
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that’s at least 12 inches high with two or more parts that move (spin, sway, or flap) in the wind.
Zip Line
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a device to carry a Ping-Pong ball from the top of a zip line to the bottom in four seconds (or less!).
Hieroglyph Holiday
Source Institutions
In this activity about archaeology, learners will explore different Egyptian hieroglyphs and recognize their meanings and uses.
Marble Ride
Source Institutions
In this activity, challenge learners to design a roller coaster ride for a marble using cardboard and other simple materials.
Fly on the Ceiling
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners play two different games to help them understand coordinates. First, learners read the book, "The Fly on the Ceiling," by Julie Glass.
Clay Bridges
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make bridges using an oil-based modeling clay (plasticene). The instructions include discussion questions for both before and after bridge building.
Optical Morpher
Source Institutions
In this amazing activity about light and reflection, learners will use a pie plate and reflective strips from a mylar balloon to try to morph their face into a friend's.
Wingin' It
Source Institutions
Learners explore the Bernoulli effect by building an airfoil (airplane wing) and making it fly.
Magnetic Seesaw
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.
Bernoulli and More Bernoulli
Source Institutions
This lesson guide includes six simple and quick activities to help learners better understand Bernoulli's Principle.
Hail Storm House
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct hail-proof houses using recycled materials to discuss storm readiness and safety.
Pollution Diffusion
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to investigate how pollution diffuses through ground material.
The Web of Life
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.
Ships Ahoy!
Source Institutions
Design a vessel that tests the limits of wind power given a set of off the shelf and recycled materials.
Plants: Hanging Tough
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners will become familiar with the special adaptations of rainforest plants and discover the conditions needed for tropical trees to survive along with what can impinge
CD Air Puck
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use a compact disc to build an air puck that can glide across a smooth tabletop. The puck glides with almost no friction on a cushion of air escaping from a balloon.
