Blind Spot
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a simple test to find their blind spot.
Homemade Hovercraft!
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hovercraft) is a full inquiry investigation into hovercraft engineering and design optimization.
Gummy Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.
Going for a Spin: Making a Model Steam Turbine
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.
Heating and Cooling of the Earth's Surface
Source Institutions
Learners conduct an experiment to determine the rate at which two materials, sand and water, heat up and cool down.
Shape Up!
Source Institutions
In this activity (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each
Cylindrical Mirror
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a cylindrical mirror to see themselves as others see them.
Screaming Balloon
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Extreme Sounds) about sound vibrations, learners will investigate which small objects, such as coins, hex nuts, or marbles, produce t
Spaghetti Bridge
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners investigate the differences between the strength of bridges made from flat and round building materials.
Waterproof Hanky
Source Institutions
In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a handkerchief holds water in an upside-down glass.
Iridescent Art
Source Institutions
This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.
Composting
Source Institutions
In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.
Shadow Dance
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment with shadows and light sources to understand the relationship between the angle illumination and the shadow's length.
How Quick Are Your Responses?
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 134 of the PDF), learners explore reaction time.
Mega Bounce
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.
Why Doesn’t the Ocean Freeze?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.
Mystery Powders
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 2 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners conduct chemical tests on certain powders used in cooking.
Growing Plants: Track Their Growth
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.
Water Sphere Lens
Source Institutions
In this activity about light and refraction, learners make a lens and magnifying glass by filling a bowl with water.
What Shape Is It?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners determine the shape of an unseen object by bouncing a ball off the object.
