Forward Thinking
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create their own weather forecast map.
Supermarket Science: The King Sooper Lab
Source Institutions
In this investigation, learners gather information on various food items during a field trip to a local grocery store.
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?
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.
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.
Electrostatic Water Attraction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a simple experiment to see how electrically charged things like plastic attract electrically neutral things like water.
Narrow it Down: Numbers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will ask yes-no questions to identify a secret number (similar to Twenty Questions). Combine logic and numbers in this game for all ages.
Handy Measuring Ratio
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use their hands as tools for indirect measurement.
Spinning Cylinder: Make a triangle appear on a spinning wheel
Source Institutions
Spin a short piece of PVC pipe that's been marked up, and watch a triangle appear. Enjoy this optical illusion from the Exploratorium's Science Snack series.
Conservation Island
Source Institutions
In this lesson, learners will understand the concepts behind endangered and extinct animals and develop their own conservation plan to save three endangered species.
Mission: Control!
Source Institutions
In this activity and game, learners will train to improve balance and spatial awareness by performing throwing and catching techniques on one foot.
Energy Audit
Source Institutions
In this lesson, learners will practice graphing and statistically analyzing data.
The Turing Test: Conversations with Computers
Source Institutions
This activity aims to stimulate discussion on the question of whether computers can exhibit “intelligence,” or are ever likely to do so in the future.
The Search for Secret Agents
Learners tour their school or home looking for sources of indoor air pollutants (IAPs).
Community Wind Project
Source Institutions
In this thought-provoking activity, learners plan a hypothetical project to build and operate wind turbines in their community.
What-a-cycle
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners act as water molecules and travel through parts of the water cycle to discover that it is more complex than just water moving from the ground to the atmosphere.
Population Study Game: Oh, Deer!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.
Slowing the Flow
Source Institutions
In this experiment, pairs of learners explore how cold water affects circulation. The mammalian diving reflex (MDR) slows circulation when the body is exposed to cold water.
Bernoulli's Blowout
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites), learners will witness firsthand the effects of Bernoulli’s Principle by capturing a ping pong ball in the stream of air created b
Extra Bounce
Source Institutions
In this indoor or outdoor demonstration, use a large and small ball to illustrate conservation of energy and momentum.
