As Straight as a Pole
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.
Magnets are Marvelous
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners investigate magnets. Learners discover that some magnets are stronger than others and that magnets have north and south poles.
Sound Bingo
Source Institutions
This game is like regular bingo, except the clues are sounds.
Joe's Place
Source Institutions
In this math activity (Page 8 of the Dining Out! PDF), younger learners select items from a menu and count out the total amount needed using the fewest bills and coins possible.
Jar Races
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will gain a better understanding of how friction, inertia, and mass affect objects.
Up, Up and Away with Bottles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.
Vanishing Craters
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 12-15), learners make a crater model and test the effects of weather (rain) on its surface.
Exploring How Robots Move
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how pneumatics and hydraulics could be used to produce movement in a robotic arm.
Jiggly Jupiter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build edible models of Jupiter and Earth to compare their sizes and illustrate the planets' internal layers.
Guar Gum Slime
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a gelatinous slime using guar gum powder and borax. Educators can use this simple activity to introduce learners to colloids.
Shape & Solid Exploration
Source Institutions
In this game, learners use clues to identify mystery shapes. Use everyday objects (like from the pantry) as the shapes.
Action-Reaction Rocket!
Learners construct a rocket from a balloon propelled along a guide string.
Foam Tower
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides), learners will whip up some suds with a cup of water and a tablespoon of dish soap until the bubbles are stiff enough to star
Blow-and-Go Parachute
Learners make a skydiver and parachute contraption and launch it. They see that the drag created by air resistance slows the descent of skydivers as they travel back to Earth.
Bernoulli Obstacle Course
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create their own obstacle course based on Bernoulli's Principle and try to get a floating ball from the start of their course to the finish line.
Shrinky Dinks
Source Institutions
Heat makes some materials expand, and it makes others shrink.
What Molecules Make the Holes in Bread?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will discover why there are holes in bread.
Density Rainbow and the Great Viscosity Race
Learners conduct two activities to investigate two properties of liquids: density and viscosity. In a clear container, learners stack 7 different liquids which will layer according to their density.
Divide and Conquer: Santa's Dirty Socks
Source Institutions
This activity introduces the idea of "divide and conquer" using a fictitious but serious problem--a pair of dirty socks has accidentally been wrapped in one of the presents that Santa is about to deli
Learning the Land
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will take a step back and learn the history of the land they live on, and the people who used to live on it.
