Recycling Paper
Source Institutions
In this crafty chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make their own paper from used paper they may have otherwise thrown away.
Water Motor
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will explore how energy from moving water can be used.
Habitat Web
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the web of connections among living and non-living things.
Creating a Local Field Guide
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners survey living organisms near where they live or go to school, and create a local field guide.
Design a Flower
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners learn about the adaptations that flowers have developed which support pollination. Learners also list their personal preferences (i.e.
Circulatory System Skit: Act out the Flow of Blood
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners act out the flow of blood in the human body! A great way to get learners up and moving while learning about the circulatory system.
Windmills
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 8-9 of the PDF), learners will explore wind energy. They will build their own windmill and see how energy from wind can be converted into a useable form.
Stick to It: Adhesion II
Source Institutions
Water sticks to all kinds of things in nature — flowers, leaves, spider webs - and doesn't stick to others, such as a duck's back.
Geodesic Gumdrops: Candy and Toothpick Architecture
Source Institutions
This hands-on activity shows you how to build basic architectural shapes out of toothpicks and gumdrops.
What's in a Penny?
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners use chemical reactions to observe the composition of an alloy.
Blowin' in the Wind
Source Institutions
In this weather activity, learners build their own wind detector and test for the presence of convection currents in their indoor location.
Push Me a Grape
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners experiment with the attractive and repulsive power of magnets.
Pollinator Bingo
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use their five senses to explore a nature-based area around them.
Build-A-Membrane
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners cut, fold, and paste paper representing biomolecules to create a three-dimensional cell membrane with embedded proteins.
Plant Parts You Eat
Source Institutions
In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.
Rocking Changes
Source Institutions
In this earth science activity, learners conduct a series of short experiments to explore how rocks change.
Stuck on You: Adhesion
Source Institutions
Learners explore water adhesion and learn about why water molecules are more strongly attracted to some substances than others.
Design and Build a Wind Vane
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design and build a simple wind vane —one of the oldest kinds of weather tools— and use it to show wind direction.
Electromagnet
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build an electromagnet using a nail, a cork, a battery, and electrical wire. Use this activity to demonstrate how electric currents produce magnet fields.
Sounds of the Heart
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will investigate the sounds of the heart.
