Save a Snowman
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of insulation by trying to keep Olaf the Snowman from melting. This activity encourages critical thinking and problem solving.
Traveling Nanoparticles Model
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity) about diffusion of small molecules across cell membranes.
The Awesome Game Race
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners design their own board games.
Dive into Design
Source Institutions
Based of the The Tech Challenge 2015, learners will engage in two mini-design challenges related to seismic engineering.
Dough Creatures
Source Institutions
In this technology activity, learners light up the room with electrifying play dough creations. Learners use conductive and insulating homemade play dough to build simple circuits.
Clay Beams and Columns
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.
Tree Tally
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and fun race, learners first find the most common type of tree in a forest site.
Investigating Ice Worlds
Source Institutions
In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.
I Am/Who Has: A Litter Matching Game
Source Institutions
In this game, learners match descriptions of marine debris (shoes, batteries, paper towels, etc.) to images of these items.
Drawing Board
Source Institutions
The Drawing Board consists of a marking pen that remains stationary and a platform that swings beneath the pen, acting as a pendulum.
Wheat Evolution: Dough Washing
Source Institutions
In this activity (Page 22 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by washing different types of dough with water and comparing the results.
Building a Community From the Ground Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, a group of learners work collaboratively to design and construct a paper model showing the evolution of an environment through multiple stages, from prehistory through the modern cit
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.
Help Wanted
Source Institutions
In this interactive board game, learners "hire" different types of scientists to help canine character Ruff Ruffman solve unusual problems.
Mapping a Study Site
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners use a mapping technique to become oriented to the major features of an outdoor site.
Divide and Conquer
Source Institutions
Learners work in groups to build model cars from paper parts. First, each learner builds cars individually and the group times themselves.
Patterns and Relationships: Struts 'n Stuff
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners identify the relationship between the number of sides in a regular polygon and the number of struts needed to make each polygon rigid.
Terrestrial Hi-Lo Hunt
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.
LEGO Robots
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GEMS Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into technology design and testing.
Your Father's Nose
Source Institutions
In this fun optics activity, learners explore principles of light, reflection (mirrors), and perception. Learners work in pairs and sit on opposite sides of a "two-way" mirror.
