Magnetic Shielding: Magnetic lines stop here
Source Institutions
Testing magnets is always a fun pastime, but here, we're going beyond "will it attract the magnet?" In this activity, learners will investigate which materials allow magnetic fields to pass through or
Egg Bungee
Source Institutions
Learners attach an egg to a rubber-band bungee cord and drop the egg.
Edible Glass
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover the principles of edible glass by making a supersaturated sugar solution.
Mighty Molecules
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use marshmallows and gum drops to construct seven models of molecules. Learners classify (solid, liquid or gas) and draw diagrams of the molecules.
Proprioception: Wiggle where you're at
Source Institutions
We're told from a young age that we have 5 senses, but we have many more. One of which is our awareness of our own body part's orientation and position.
