Human Interface Design: The Chocolate Factory
Source Institutions
In this activity about human interface design issues, learners help the Oompa-Loompas of a great chocolate factory solve different problems.
Motor Learning
Source Institutions
In this activity (26th on the page), learners construct an easy-to-build device and test motor learning.
A Spray Spree
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore water pressure by conducting an experiment with a garden hose. Learners build a testing apparatus and create PVC nozzles with different sized holes.
Air Cannon
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting), learners will construct an air cannon by cutting a hole in the bottom of a bucket and stretching a garbage bag over the other end
The Ups and Downs of Body Temperature
Source Institutions
In this activity (1st on the page), learners explore circadian rhythms by keeping track of their body temperature.
Mirror Image
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate procedural memory.
Science at the Waterpark!
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides) is a full inquiry investigation into speed and motion and takes place at a water park.
Hockey Stick Power!
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hockey) is a full inquiry investigation into how a hockey stick’s flex affects shooting power and accuracy.
Fruit Juice Mystery
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners work to figure out which of four juices are real, and which is just food coloring and sugar.
Can Crushers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct an experiment by heating an aluminum can filled with water to investigate air pressure.
Geometry Construction: Polyhedral Playthings
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.
Size and Scale: Probing and Predicting
Source Institutions
In this quick activity about predicting (located on page 2 of the PDF under Where's Nano?
Ice Cream
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners use the lowered freezing point of water to chill another mixture (ice cream) to the solid state.
Counting Books: Make Your Own!
Source Institutions
On the first night, I saw 5 stars in the desert. On the second night, I saw 10… What do you think I saw on the third night? Combine arts and crafts, literacy, and math by making a counting book.
Guiding Light
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners use glass and water to demonstrate total internal reflection (TIR).
House Warming
Source Institutions
In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how passive solar design increases energy efficiency.
FlyBy Math: Distance-Rate-Time Problems in Air Traffic Control
Source Institutions
In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.
Candy Chromatography
Source Institutions
Learners analyze candy-coated sweets using chromatography. Learners use this method to separate the various dyes used to make colored candy.
Cake by Conduction
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, cook a cake using the heat produced when the cake batter conducts an electric current.
Breaking Point
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.
