What's in a Penny?
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners use chemical reactions to observe the composition of an alloy.
Trail Construction
Source Institutions
In this highly physical outdoor activity, learners construct and compare experimental trail sections to select the best trail-construction technique for their site.
Keep a "SLOG" (Sleep Log)
Source Institutions
In this activity (1st on the page), learners keep a "SLOG" or Sleep Log to study their sleep patterns.
Make a Model of a Home Made From Shipping Containers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.
Off Base
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the factors that tend to resist changes in pH of the ocean and why the ocean is becoming more acidic.
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.
Stabilization Wedges Game
Source Institutions
This game introduces learners to the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and prevent climate change.
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.
Guess My Rule
Source Institutions
In this simple game, learners start to understand how to sort and categorize objects by trying to guess the connection between three items that someone else has chosen.
The Power of Graphene
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.
Heat Capacity: Can't Take the Heat?
Source Institutions
Why is ocean water sometimes the warmest when the average daily air temperature starts to drop? In this activity, learners explore the differing heat capacities of water and air using real data.
Total Internal Reflection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a laser pointer, empty soda bottle, rubber plug and water to demonstrate total internal reflection.
Eclipse: How can the little Moon hide the giant Sun?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how distance can affect the way we perceive the size of an object.
Balancing Act
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will build a class 1 lever and hypothesize and test the distances two objects need to be placed from the fulcrum in order to balance.
Pósteres de Creatividad y Matemáticas
Source Institutions
Exponga estos pósteres en el salón o déjelos donde los chicos los puedan explorar. Los chicos buscan las respuestas en libros de consulta, explorando el salón, y usando su creatividad.
Wintergreen
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.
Hand Biometrics Technology
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers incorporate biometric technologies into products as well as the challenges of engineers who must weigh privacy, security and other issues when designin
Air Pressure and Dent Pullers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.
The Dead Zone: A Marine Horror Story
Source Institutions
In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien
Biotech in a Bag
Source Institutions
In a series of three experiments, learners explore the basics of biotechnology using self-locking plastic baggies. Each experiment demonstrates a phenomenon or principle of biotechnology.
