Exponential Models: Rhinos and M&M’s ®
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners model exponential decay and exponential growth using M&M's, paper folding, and African rhino population data.
Mirror-Tracing
Source Institutions
This mirror-tracing activity related to proprioception is a visual and motor test that involves learning a new motor skill.
Are you a Supertaster?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine their tongue and taste buds.
Nutrients in an Estuary
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model estuaries, artificially enriching both fresh and salt water samples with different amounts of nutrients and observing the growth of algae over several weeks.
Foam Rocket
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.
Introduction to the Scientific Method
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 26 of the PDF), learners make observations, formulate hypotheses and design a controlled experiment, based on the reaction of carbon dioxide with calcium hydroxide.
Inverse Square Law
Source Institutions
In this math activity related to light, learners explore why a light, such as a candle or a streetlight, looks dimmer the farther away from it we get.
Exercise in Creating Drawings for Field Notebooks
Source Institutions
Learners draw and describe a leaf, and then re-find leaves drawn and described by other learners. Learners can observe leaves outside, or leaves may be brought into the classroom.
An Interdisciplinary Deer and Human Population Study
Source Institutions
This activity helps the learner answer the question: "What environmental problems arise due to animal and human overpopulation and what might need to be done to combat these problems?" Learners play a
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.
Scavenger Hunt: A Group Collection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are divided into teams.
Waves: An Alternative Energy Source
Source Institutions
In this data analysis and environmental science activity, learners evaluate the feasibility of wave energy as a practical alternative energy source using ocean observing system (OOS) buoys.
Taking Its Temperature
Source Institutions
In this activity (pages 5-7), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.
What's the Matter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners identify different classes of matter based on physical properties.
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.
Human Impact on Estuaries: A Terrible Spill in Grand Bay
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a model of a pollution spill that occurred at Bangs Lake in Mississippi and measure water quality parameters in their model.
Energy Use in the Americas
Source Institutions
Learners explore the relationship between energy consumption, population, and carbon emissions in the countries of the Americas.
Phylogenetics
Source Institutions
This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.
The Beaks of the Finches
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners become birds different beak types. Learners use various tools to represent beaks to pick up seeds and place them in a petri dish.
Mass of the Earth
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth.
