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
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.
Can Car
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, challenge learners to make a race-car out of a coffee can and rubber band. Demonstrate motion, forces, kinetic and potential energy and friction.
Sea Turtle Populations
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Sea Turtles Activity), learners will model how a sea turtle population changes over time, from eggs to adults, using puffed rice.
Jump to It!
Source Institutions
This is a quick and simple demonstration about reflexes (second activity on the page).
Forces at the Nanoscale: Nano Properties of Everyday Plants
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.
Change in Temperature: Exothermic Reaction
Source Institutions
Learners add calcium chloride to a baking soda solution and observe an increase in temperature along with the production of a gas and a white precipitate. These are all signs of a chemical reaction.
Burst a Bubble
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their own bubble solution. Learners will explore chemistry, geometry and trial and error through this activity.
Peripheral Vision
Source Institutions
How far can you see out of the corner of your eye? Grab a partner and find out from the Exploratorium Science Snack.
Extreme Kicking Machine
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity follow up to "Kicking Machine", learners add a hands-free feature to their Kicking Machine.
Can You "See" Thermal Radiation?
Source Institutions
Use this hands-on activity to demonstrate infrared and thermal radiation.
Slime
Source Institutions
Learners make slime from white school glue and Borax detergent. The long chain molecules of the white glue become cross-linked by the Borax into a big network.
Bearings for Your Whirligig
Source Institutions
Experiment with friction and make bearings for a whirligig! This activity is a nice introduction to friction and bearings and demonstrates why bearings are useful for spinning.
Sky Floater Challenge
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.
Motorized Car
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a car that uses a battery-operated motor to "drive" at least ten feet.
The Crayon Rock Cycle
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.
Fruity-Glows: Pictures of Health on a Microarray Canvas
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 12), learners apply the concepts of pixilation and pointillism to the world of biomedical science.
Trees: Buds and Twigs
Source Institutions
In this hands-on nature activity, learners observe the emergence of leaves and flowers. Branches from trees and bushes are collected in the early spring, brought indoors, and placed in water.
Holding Charge
Source Institutions
In this trick, learners discover how to stick a straw to the palm of their hand, window door, or anywhere using static electricity.
