Does the Moon Rotate?
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.
Make a Heart Valve
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a model of a one-way heart valve to investigate how a heart controls the direction of blood flow.
Foam Rocket
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.
What's in Your Blood?
Source Institutions
Doctors often send a sample of blood to a lab, to make sure their patients are healthy.
Balsa Towers
Source Institutions
Learners work in groups to design and build a tower out of balsa wood. As a motivator, they can compete to build a tower with the highest strength-to-weight ratio.
Fog Chamber
Source Institutions
In this weather-related activity, learners make a portable cloud in a bottle.
Building a 3-D Space Maze: Escher Staircase
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about
Space Origami: Make Your Own Starshade
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners cut out and fold their own collapsible origami starshade, an invention that shields a telescope's camera lens from the light of a distant star so that NASA scientists can ex
Build the Big Dipper
Source Institutions
Learners use simple materials to construct a model the Big Dipper. Learners hang the model from a doorway or ceiling and look up at it to see the constellation as seen from Earth.
Balloon Staging
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate a multistage rocket launch using party balloons, fishing line, straws, and a plastic cup.
Clogged Arteries
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how eating unhealthy food can damage a heart and arteries.
Gravity and Falling
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with a bucket, stretchy fabric, marbles, and weights to discover some basics about gravity.
Airboat
Source Institutions
In this activity related to Newton's Laws of Motion, learners build a boat powered by a propeller in the air.
Flower Engineers
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 24-29) combines science and art to introduce learners to how different animal pollinators spread pollen from one plant to another, and how certain shapes, colors, and smells of
Digger
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build their own construction cranes using tongue depressors and pushpins.
Glitter Slime
Source Institutions
Our bodies defend themselves in many different ways to prevent us from getting sick.
Molecular Menagerie
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.
Cartesian Diver
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: California Fish), learners will build a simple Cartesian Diver in an empty 2-liter bottle.
Atomic Mobile
Source Institutions
Learners make a mobile model of a carbon atom using clay, wire, and pipe cleaners.
¡Las Fases Lunares!
Source Institutions
En esta actividad, Mateo y Cientina enseñan a usar modelos para ver las causas de las fases lunares.
