The Ins and Outs of Tides: Learn About Causes and Predictions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will compare predicted and observed tides using data from The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA).
Gravity and Muscles
Source Institutions
In this activity about center of gravity (page 23 of PDF), learners investigate how the body adjusts to the force of gravity to remain balanced.
Make Your Own Telescope
Source Institutions
Discover how a refracting telescope works by making one from scratch using common items. This telescope won't have a tube so the learner can see how an image is formed inside the telescope.
Anti-Gravity Cups
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use simple materials to explore centripetal force and variables by swinging a cup of water without having the water spill out.
What Is a Neuron?
Source Institutions
This neuroscience activity introduces learners to how messages are sent and received by neurons. Learners use modeling clay and pipe cleaners to build model neurons.
Aluminum Boats
Source Institutions
Test the buoyancy of an aluminum foil boat and an aluminum foil ball. Why does the same material in different shapes sink or float?
Mechanical Madness
Source Institutions
In this online Flash game, learners test their engineering know-how, moving a collection of mechanical parts onto a board to make complete a system of parts that will move a ball from start to finish.
¡Ciencia efervescente y espumosa!
Source Institutions
En esta actividad la tira cómica muestra a los participantes como pueden hacer un experimento simple para ver cuales líquidos son ácidos.
Head Harp
Source Institutions
Put a string around your head, and play it! Learn about vibration, sounds, and pitch.
Sink or Swim?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners identify different plastics in a mystery bag. Learners discover that plastics are classified #1 through #7.
Making An Impact!
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.
Breathing Yeasties
Source Institutions
In this life science activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore the carbon cycle by mixing yeast, sugar and water.
Simple Spinner
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a tiny electric, motorized dancer. Learners use the interactions of magnetism and electric current to make a wire spin, while displaying the Lorentz Force in action.
Parachute Parade
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners design parachutes to give toy figures safe landings. This activity is great for practicing an important STEM skill--changing only one variable at a time.
Light Soda
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners sublimate dry ice and then taste the carbon dioxide gas.
Tsunami: Waves of Destruction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use tsunami time travel maps to predict how long it will take a tsunami to reach the shore.
Conversation Piece
Source Institutions
Focus sound through a balloon! In this Exploratorium activity, you'll use dry ice to create a balloon that's a sound lens.
Liquid Lava Layers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concepts of density and basic chemical reactions as they create a homemade lava lamp effect using water, oil, food coloring, and Alka-Seltzer tablets.
Shadow Play
Source Institutions
In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.
Inverted Bottles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate convection by using food coloring and water of different temperatures.
