Magnetic Free Fall
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a pencil, magnets, and mat board to illustrate Newton's Second Law.
Forward Thinking
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create their own weather forecast map.
A Slice of Apple Fly
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build an instrument for catching and observing flies. Learners act as entomologists, attract flies into a jar using a slice of apple, and then observe the flies' behavior.
M&M® Model of the Atom: Edible Subatomic Particles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use colored candy to represent subatomic particles and make a model of an atom (Bohr model).
Rainbow Refraction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how light can refract or break apart into different colors.
Paper making: a craft and a chemical engineering major
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the question "What is paper?" Learners discover the processes and materials required to make paper while experimenting with different recycled fibers and tools.
Grow a Garden in a Glove
Source Institutions
Learners use a transparent plastic glove as a container to grow seeds. A different kind of seed can be planted in each finger.
Disappearing Act
Source Institutions
Make a camouflage cut-out animal! Using patterned paper or magazine pictures from around the house, use your craft skills to make a paper animal that blends into its background.
Waves: An Alternative Energy Source
Source Institutions
In this data analysis and environmental science activity, learners evaluate the feasibility of wave energy as a practical alternative energy source using ocean observing system (OOS) buoys.
Taking Its Temperature
Source Institutions
In this activity (pages 5-7), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.
Homologous Shoes?
Source Institutions
This "concept demonstration" provides learners with a concrete example (a pair of shoes in a classroom "cell") of what homology means.
Filling the Time
Source Institutions
Build time sense into the schedule by asking learners to predict what can happen in a certain amount of time: We have 20 minutes before outdoor time. What can you get done?
Your Blind Spot
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how their own eyes work by experimenting with their photoreceptors.
Star Power
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a star show and discover how they can prevent light pollution. Using simple materials, learners first design constellation boxes.
What's the Matter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners identify different classes of matter based on physical properties.
String Thing
Source Institutions
String Thing is an interactive online game in which learners change a virtual string's tension, length, and gauge to create different musical pitches.
Cipher Wheel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make their own encrypted code to pass along secret messages using a printable cipher wheel.
¡Oobleck!
Source Institutions
En esta actividad, Mateo y Cientina descubren una sustancia nueva y extraña que se llama "Oobleck". En su experimento ven que Oobleck tiene propiedades de sólidos y líquidos.
Exploring the Nanoworld with LEGO Bricks: Structures and Their Construction at the Nanoscale
Source Institutions
In this activity (pages 42-49), learners discover the methods and challenges of building nanoscale structures with macroscale equipment.
AM in the PM
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will listen to as many radio stations as possible to discover that AM radio signals can travel many hundreds of miles at night.
