Pollinator Bingo
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use their five senses to explore a nature-based area around them.
Balloon Kebabs
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure by attempting to make "balloon kebabs." Learners will try to insert a wooden skewer all the way through an inflated balloon
Cutting it Down to Nano
Source Institutions
This simple activity uses paper and scissors to convey two key concepts to learners: the nanoscale is very small and working on the nanoscale requires special tools.
Build-A-Membrane
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners cut, fold, and paste paper representing biomolecules to create a three-dimensional cell membrane with embedded proteins.
I Can't Take the Pressure!
Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.
Delicious Smelling Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use household materials to investigate and explore their ability to smell an odor.
Rip It Up And Start Again - Composting
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will experiment to find how long it takes to compost paper. They will create their own compost container and test different variables.
What's Hiding in the Air?: Rubber Band Air Test
Learners build devices from rubber bands to test for invisible air pollutants.
Biomimicry: Synthetic Gecko Tape Through Nanomolding
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo, learners examine a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics the behavior of the gecko foot.
Changing Colors
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how different colors of lights interact with objects around them. Will a blue object stay blue with a red filter?
Make a Speaker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how an electromagnet works by making a simple one. Using this knowledge, learners design a diagram to make a working speaker using household materials.
I Spy Nano!
Source Institutions
In this game, learners try to find nano-related objects on a game board. Learners investigate the different ways nano is in the world around us.
Lager Lamp
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, adult learners create a lava lamp using beer and nuts! Use this pub-themed activity to demonstrate the effects of buoyancy and bubbles.
Design a Seed
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will design a seed and test how it travels. Learners will use the Engineering Design Process to create a seed which can move from place to place.
Use Clues to Solve an Ice Mystery
Source Institutions
Learners explore the variables that affect the properties of ice and the places where different types of ice are found.
Weathering and Erosion
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 13 of the PDF), learners discover how weathering and erosion change the Earth’s surface.
Statistics: Something Fishy
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratio and proportion to the capture-recapture statistical procedure.
Combustion
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners discover that the weight of the product of combustion is greater than that of the starting material.
This Spud’s for You
Source Institutions
Use a homemade potato launcher to explore air pressure. This activity includes simple instructions on how to build a homemade propulsion pipe using pipe, a wooden dowel and duct tape.
Plant Parts You Eat
Source Institutions
In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.
