Nosedive
Source Institutions
This is a great activity for investigating the basics of lift and drag as they pertain to flight. Learners will discover how to avoid "taking a nosedive" by building their own paper airplane.
Chromatography Observations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how water affects marker on filter paper. Learners will use science process skills such as making observations and predictions as they explore color.
Exploring the Universe: Objects in Motion
Source Institutions
"Exploring the Universe: Objects in Motion" encourages participants to explore the complex but predictable ways objects in the universe interact with each other.
Rescue Rover
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how rescue devices are designed to aid professionals during emergency situations.
Disease Detectives
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine antibodies and antibody recognition using a model.
Gas Model
Source Institutions
This highly visual model demonstrates the atomic theory of matter which states that a gas is made up of tiny particles of atoms that are in constant motion, smashing into each other.
Can You Canoe?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the manufacturing of canoes over time, including the development of new, durable, and lighter materials.
Water "Digs" It!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.
Inner Space
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that there is space between molecules even in a cup "full" of water. They first fill a cup with marbles, and then add sand to fill the gaps between the marbles.
Ice Cream Shake
Source Institutions
In this tasty activity, learners make their own ice cream any day of the year in an exploration of heat and cold. Highlights include freezing and melting and the transition from liquid to solid.
Macchia Madness
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the history of making objects from glass and artistry of Dale Chihuly.
School of Fish
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make fish cutouts that propel through the water with the help of surface tension.
Electric Gelatin
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore static electricity and electrical charges while experimenting with an inflated balloon, unflavored gelatin powder, and a wool sweater.
Properties of Dust
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners carry out a scientific investigation of dust in their classroom. Learners produce an analysis on graph paper of the dust they collect over the course of a few days.
Color Splash
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix water, cooking oil, and liquid food coloring to create beautiful colored designs in a cup. Use this activity to explore liquid density and solubility.
Design a Flavor: Experiment to Make Your Own Ice Cream Flavor!
Source Institutions
In this delicious activity, learners get to make, taste-test and compare their own "brands" of homemade strawberry ice cream.
Got Gas?
Source Institutions
Create gas with a glass of water, some wire, conductors and a battery! You will be separating water (H2O) into oxygen and hydrogen.
Water Fountain
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how a hydraulic pump works. Learners work in teams to design and build a unique water fountain that employs a hydraulic pump.
Bridge the Gap
Source Institutions
Learners work in groups to construct bridges using stale marshmallows and toothpicks.
Tennis Anyone?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.
