Battling for Oxygen
Working in groups, learners model the continuous destruction and creation of ozone (O3) molecules, which occur in the ozone layer.
Build a Giant Puzzle!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.
The Wander of Pollen
Source Institutions
In this activity/demonstration, learners explore pollen and how insects and animals transport pollen. Learners investigate and compare wind and animal pollination.
Moving and Working in Space
Source Institutions
In this activity, groups of four learners must complete a set of four manual tasks. The restrictions are that they must complete the tasks in a limited time while wearing garden or rubber gloves.
Fuzzy Worms
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concepts of natural selection and observable traits in a game that can be played at home.
Rabbit Olympics
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Rabbits) is a full inquiry investigation into observing, recording, and graphing animal behavior.
Everyday Poisons
Source Institutions
This reading and writing activity (on pages 2-9) teaches what plant parts should be avoided, how a person can get rid of toxins, symptoms of plant poisoning, and how plants create poisons to repel pre
Runaway Runoff
Source Institutions
When it rains, water can collect on top of and seep into the ground. Water can also run downhill, carrying soil and pollution with it.
Habitable Worlds
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners consider environmental conditions—temperature, presence of water, atmosphere, sunlight, and chemical composition—on planets and moons in our solar system to determine
Exploring Ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.
Water Cycle in a Bag
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.
Hand Battery
Source Institutions
In this activity about chemistry and electricity, learners form a battery by placing their hands onto plates of different metals.
Pixel Tube
Source Institutions
In this STEAM activity, learners create a "pixel tube" to explore reflections of light and color mixing.
Dip Dip, Hooray
Source Institutions
Lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies are a habitat for lots of living things, big and small.
Sawing Away
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners saw sections from fallen trees, then count tree rings and look closely at patterns of tree growth.
Colored Shadows
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners discover that not all shadows are black. Learners explore human color perception by using colored lights to make additive color mixtures.
Otter Smorgasbord
Source Institutions
In this graphing activity (on pages 33-40), learners investigate how much and what kinds of food sea otter pups eat during their first year of life.
Exploring Size: Scented Solutions
Source Institutions
This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).
Cellular Soap Opera
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a large film of soap and experiment with what can and cannot pass through it.
