Float Your Boat
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.
Create a Food Diary
Source Institutions
In this nutrition activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will record their food consumption for one day, and then evaluate how their actual diet matched up with the recommended diet.
COSI's Flubber Recipe
Source Institutions
Everybody loves messy science, and Flubber is a favorite of both COSI employees and guests!
COSI's Bubble Recipe
Source Institutions
Everybody loves bubbles, and this is the best bubble recipe ever!
Balancing Act
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore their center of gravity.
Balloon in a Bottle
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will see firsthand that air takes up space and has pressure by attempting to inflate a balloon inside of a bottle.
Magnetisphere
Source Institutions
In this activity about magnetism (page seven of the pdf), learners experiment with magnets to better understand how magnetic fields work.
Watercolor
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use chemistry to create a night sky watercolor painting. They will experiment to learn the effects of mixing crayon, salt, and lemon juice with water color paints.
Buoyant Bubbles
Source Institutions
What keeps bubbles and other things, like airplanes, floating or flying in the air?
Rollin’ Rollin' Rollin'
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 12 of the PDF), learners explore potential and kinetic energy by rolling different sized marbles down an inclined plane.
Hover Cup
Source Institutions
Is this activity concentrating on physical science, learners build their very own miniature hovercraft out of a paper cup. Using it, they can explore the concepts of friction and force.
Paper Cup Anemometer
Source Institutions
In this meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.
Balloon Rockets
Source Institutions
This is an activity about rockets. Learners will explore how rockets leave Earth's orbit and what it takes to make a launch successful.
Homemade Rube Goldberg Machine
Source Institutions
In this fun and, at times, hilarious force and motion activity, learners will use household objects to build a crazy contraption and see how far they can get a tennis ball to move.
Push It Out
Source Institutions
In this physics related activity which requires adult supervision, learners make their own powerful water rocket and, with it, explore Newton's Third Law of Motion.
Hot Potato
Source Institutions
In this health activity (page 7 of the PDF), learners will discover the importance of handwashing as a factor in reducing the spread of pathogens.
What's for Dinner?
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will create a food web and explore food sources for different organisms. They will identify relationships between organisms in an ecosystem.
Chromatography
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will observe a physical change.
Mighty Seeds
Source Institutions
In this biology experiment, learners plant soybean seeds in plaster of Paris, witnessing firsthand the mighty power and ability of plants to grow in adverse conditions.
Light as Air
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate air has weight by comparing an inflated balloon to a deflated one.
