This activity combines learning about nutrition, math of measurement and proportion, and healthy eating. Start by distributing food packages with Nutrition Facts labeled.
Ocean Currents
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.
Static Shock!
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners explore static electricity through the use of common household products. They also explore the connection between static electricity and cold weather.
Do Plants Need Sunlight?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners find out what happens when they cover leaves with pieces of black construction paper. This activity shows learners that plants need sunlight to survive.
Kick Stick Challenge
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners investigate series circuits and motors to build a hand-held "kick stick." Their goal is create a battery-operated device that sends a Ping-Pong ball across
Tissue Paper Parachute
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a parachute out of tissue paper, tape, and string. Then, learners test their parachute to see how many paper clips it can carry.
Sunblock Investigation
Source Institutions
In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners set up a simple experiment to find out how sunscreen counteracts the effects of the sun.
Dinosaur Skull and Body Length Predictions
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Baby Dinosaurs Activity), learners will look for a relationship between skull size and body length among various dinosaurs.
