Exploring Structures: DNA
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a necklace of wheat germ DNA. Learners add alcohol to wheat germ so that the DNA clumps together.
Exploring Forces: Gravity
Source Institutions
In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.
Pollinator Bingo
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use their five senses to explore a nature-based area around them.
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.
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?
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.
Place Matters: How Sound Changes Due to Environment
Source Institutions
This is an online simulation of how sound changes due to environment. How does place--like a cave, a pier, or a forest--affect certain sounds?
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.
Photosynthesis and Transpiration
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Plants—The Green Machines), learners examine the effects that light and air have on green plants.
Target Practice
Source Institutions
In this dynamic activity, learners build a catapult that launches projectiles, such as marshmallows.
Periscope
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners build a spy tool to secretly view things over walls or around corners.
Gumdrop Dome
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners construct sturdy geodesic structures out of gumdrops and toothpicks. Use this activity to explore engineering principles as well as sturdy shapes and triangles.
Throw Your Weight Around
Source Institutions
During this activity, learners take part in a variety of tasks which involve moving and balancing different body parts.
Exploring Earth: Temperature Mapping
Source Institutions
This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.
Chemistry Makes Scents
Source Institutions
In "Chemistry Makes Scents," participants use their noses to distinguish between chemicals with very similar structures.
Balloon Rockets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create a model rocket out of an inflated balloon attached to a straw on a taught string.
¡Agua Cambiante!
Source Institutions
En esta actividad, los aprendices experimentarán con las tres fases del agua. Intentarán controlar la rapidez de los cambios de estado al manipular la temperatura y la presión del agua, hielo, y gas.
Root Observations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will investigate and compare the root systems of plants. Explore how weed and edible plant roots differ, and take a closer look inside with the careful use of a knife!
Family Math Activity: Measuring with Paper Clips and M&Ms
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners and their caregivers use non-standard tools, like M&Ms and paper clips, to measure things around their home.
Sublimation Bubbles
Source Institutions
"Sublimation Bubbles" allows learners to explore how some solid materials, such as dry ice, can phase change directly from their solid to gaseous form.
