Working with Wind Energy
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how wind energy can be generated on both a large and small scale.
Plugged in to CO2
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate various appliances and electronics, discovering how much energy each uses and how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is released to produce that energy.
Delta, Delta, Delta
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners construct an equilateral triangle using graph paper, a pencil, protractor and ruler. They also make a "laser triangle" using a laser pointer and front-silvered mirrors.
Toxic Popcorn Design Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.
Shipping for Survival
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.
Engineered Music
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how musical instruments are engineered.
Linear Functions: Mystery Liquids
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners analyze the density of liquids in order to explore linear functions.
Earth's Energy Cycle: Albedo
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.
The Electric Squeeze
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.
Nano Ice Cream
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.
Build Your Own Robot Arm
Source Institutions
In this lesson, learners develop a robot arm using common materials. Learners explore design, construction, and teamwork, as well as materials selection and use.
Polynomial and Rational Functions: Building Boxes
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore polynomial and rational function patterns.
How Quick Are Your Responses?
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 134 of the PDF), learners explore reaction time.
Cosmic Debate
Source Institutions
In this activity described on pages 2-3 of the PDF, participants debate whether there there's life elsewhere in the universe.
Synaptic Tag
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners review the parts of the synapse and their functions by playing a game.
Inkjet Printer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how inkjet printers produce tiny, precise drops of ink.
Metamorphosis Matching
Source Institutions
This is an activity where learners will compare the different metamorphosis stages of amphibians.
Sky Time: Kinesthetic Astronomy
Source Institutions
Through a series of simple body movements, learners gain insight into the relationship between time and astronomical motions of Earth (rotation about its axis, and orbit around the Sun), and also abou
Jump Into Design: Understanding the Design Process
Source Institutions
In this series of activities (page 5), students are introduced to the design process.
Effect of Environment on Plant Growth
Source Institutions
The purpose of this plant biotechnology activity is to demonstrate the effect of changes in the environment on the growth and fertility of landscape grasses and crop grasses such as wheat and rice.
