Say Cheese!
Source Institutions
Create a chemical reaction that makes cheese! This hands-on activity demonstrates that molecules and atoms are tiny particles that make up everything around us.
Surface Area
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners discover that nanoparticles behave differently, in part because they have a high surface area to volume ratio.
Share Your Planet
Source Institutions
In this cooperative game, learners devise strategies about sharing a small space with each other.
Seeing 3D
Source Institutions
Create 3D glasses and use them to explore color, light and optics. Fool your brain into 'seeing' three dimensions on a flat surface!
Look-alike Liquids
Source Institutions
Learners add drops of four liquids (water, alcohol, salt water, and detergent solution) to different surfaces and observe the liquids' behavior.
Universal Indicator Rainbow Trout
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners cut out a fish and then "paint" it using universal indicator and acids and bases.
Shark Sense of Smell
Source Institutions
This is an activity about our sense of smell and how it compares to sharks' super noses. Learners will create varying solutions of water and perfume.
Paths and Ponds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use squares to figure out how many border tiles are needed to enclose different areas.
Boomerang
Source Institutions
Learners trace, cut out and fly a boomerang, outdoors or in a large indoor space.
Why Do Eclipses Happen?
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners create 3D models of the Earth, Moon and Sun to demonstrate solar and lunar eclipses.
Slippery Coqui Eggs
Source Institutions
In this activity, multiple learners will use a game with ballloons to learn about coqui frog behavior.
Subtractive Paint Prints
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.
Oh Boy Buoyancy
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will explore the concept of buoyancy, especially as it relates to density.
Exploring How Liquids Behave
Source Institutions
Learners apply their knowledge from a previous study to identify different liquids--water, corn syrup, and vegetable oil.
Lung Capacity
Source Institutions
This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.
Exploring the Universe: Pack a Space Telescope
Source Institutions
Space telescopes can offer us better, clearer views of the universe (and of our own planet) than Earth-based telescopes can, but getting these large, delicate pieces of equipment into orbit is tricky.
Inkjet Printer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how inkjet printers produce tiny, precise drops of ink.
Cover Your Mouth
Source Institutions
In this health activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will discover why covering their mouth and nose while sneezing is so important.
Great Balls of Goop
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix white craft glue and borax solution together to produce a surprising new material: GOOP!
What's the Buzz
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners explore how sound is created by vibrations.
