How We Know What The Dinosaurs Looked Like: How Fossils Were Formed
Source Institutions
In this activity (p.7-8 of PDF), learners examine fossil formation.
Exploring Materials: Hydrogel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how a super-absorbing material can be used to move a straw.
Parabolas: It's All Done with Mirrors
Source Institutions
In this activity about light and reflection, learners use a special device called a Mirage Maker™ to create an illusion.
Pi Toss
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore a surprising method for calculating the mathematical constant pi, known as Buffon's Needle.
Strengthen a Paper Bridge
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War), learners will test how many pennies a flat paper index card bridging the gap between two stacks of books is able to supp
Soaring Towers: Building with Recycled Materials
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.
Pressing Pressure
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners compare water pressure at different depths. Learners discover that water pressure increases with depth.
Twelve at a Time
Source Institutions
As learners play this game, they build skills in area, perimeter, multiples and factors. They take turns making rectangles with 12 squares on the grid.
Twist and Spout
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make their own "tornado" using two soda bottles and water.
Bottle Cars
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore motion, energy, and electricity by constructing bottle cars that run on motors.
Moving Pictures
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners create flip books by drawing an image like an eye opening and closing on 24 small pages of paper.
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.
See the Light
Source Institutions
In this three-part activity, learners conduct simple experiments to see how light refracts and reflects, and how colors of light affect what we see.
Diffraction
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, demonstrate diffraction using a candle or a small bright flashlight bulb and a slide made with two pencils.
Hunting Minibeasts
Source Institutions
In this activity (p.6-10 of PDF), learners use different methods for hunting minibeasts (bugs). Learners can either make traps or simply look for minibeasts under stones and logs.
Biodomes Engineering Design Project
In this design-based activity, learners explore environments, ecosystems, energy flow and organism interactions by creating a model biodome. Learners become engineers who create model ecosystems.
Rate of Solution Demonstration
Source Institutions
In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the factors that increase the rate of dissolution for a solid.
A Scientific Cleanup
Source Institutions
This is a comprehensive lesson plan on page 85 for a group cleanup trip to a local beach, lake or stream. Learners keep track of the types and amounts of trash picked up and analyze this information.
Shocking Fruit
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how a piece of fruit can act as an electrolyte, conducting electricity between two different metals.
Bake Sale
Source Institutions
This activity helps learners learn about math through a real-world scenario. Three friends are baking cookies for their school’s bake sale.
