Algebra: Aw Chute!
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners determine and compare the rate of descent of various learner-constructed parachutes. Learners construct parachutes that will have maximum hang times.
Exploring Magnetic Field Lines
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the magnetic field of a bar magnet as an introduction to understanding Earth's magnetic field. First, learners explore and play with magnets and compasses.
The Face of Science
Source Institutions
Learners draw pictures of how they envision scientists. By comparing and discussing the features in their pictures, they can discover common thoughts and stereotypes about scientists.
Soda Pop Cave
Source Institutions
In this geology activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners explore how carbonic acid can slowly dissolve limestone and form caves.
Sleep Patterns
Source Institutions
In this activity about sleep rhythms (on page 21 of the PDF), learners will collect data about their own sleep cycles and use a fraction wheel to examine their data.
Lub Dub: Make a Heart Valve
Source Institutions
Learners will construct a model of a heart valve using a film canister, a piece of masking tape, and a piece of paper.
Quick Frozen Critters
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play an active version of freeze tag based on predator/prey relationships.
Finger Basketball
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.
Elevator Engineering
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use household items to design and build an elevator that will carry 2 passengers to a height of 16 inches...or higher!
Lupine and Butterflies
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity about the connection between the lupine plant and butterflies, learners first read "Miss Rumphius," a storybook about lupine by Barbara Cooney.
Rolling Returns
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a special rolling can that returns back to you when you push it forward. Use this activity to demonstrate the transfer of energy between kinetic and potential energy.
Community Wind Project
Source Institutions
In this thought-provoking activity, learners plan a hypothetical project to build and operate wind turbines in their community.
Clean Me Up, Snotty
Source Institutions
Learners will explore the chemistry of mucous and its importance to our health by following a process to make their own replica "snot." The activity includes a time and age recommendation, a materials
Cabbage Juice Indicator
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners make indicator solution from red cabbage. Then, learners test everyday foods and household substances using the cabbage juice indicator.
Turning the Air Upside Down: Warm Air is Less Dense than Cool Air
Learners cover a bottle with a balloon. When they immerse the bottle in warm water, the balloon inflates. When they immerse the bottle in a bowl of ice, the balloon deflates.
Cup Towers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore different ways to stack cups to meet a personal goal.
Hot & Cold
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment with hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, yeast, and baking soda to produce hot and cold reactions. Use this activity to demonstrate exothermic and endothermic reactions.
Makin' Tracks
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make plaster casts of an animal track to learn more about animals and animal behavior.
Three Bean Salads
Source Institutions
This game teaches ratio and proportion by having learners make "salads" that combine three types of beans in different combinations.
Weather Vane
Source Institutions
In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.
