This simulation helps learners understand what happens to food as it passes through the digestive system.
Bubble Geometry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use geometry in observing the shapes and angles soap bubbles create when they join together.
Laser Jello
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use gelatin as a lens to investigate the properties of laser light.
Scientific Measurement Exercise
Source Institutions
Learners measure irregularly shaped bones using a variety of measurement methods and tools. Then, they measure again using standard conventions and metric tape measures.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Constellations
Source Institutions
This chocolate chip cookie recipe includes templates for baking night sky constellations of the season right on top! Two templates are included, one for 9pm mid-April, and one for 10pm mid-July.
Engineering Ups and Downs

The Ladder of Life
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners identify the DNA base bars guanine, cytosine, thymine and adenine. Learners create a DNA model using colored paper clips to resemble these base pairs.
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.
Pearlescent Pigments
Source Institutions
This is written as a display, but can easily be adapted to a hands-on activity. Learners observe and shake containers of shiny liquids.
