Chocolate (Sea Floor) Lava
Source Institutions
In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.
Looking Back Through Time
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create their own archaeological profiles.
Fossil Age Estimation Model
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs), learners will model how paleontologists estimate the age of fossil discoveries by extracting “fossil” playing cards from newspa
Pollen Tracks
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 30-36), learners simulate a dig for ancient pollen, to experience how paleobotanists study fossilized pollen in rocks to learn about early geological and climatological even
Catch a Wave: How Waves are Formed
Source Institutions
In this three-part activity, learners explore how waves are formed and why some waves are bigger than others. First, learners observe waves of water in a pan generated by an electric fan.
Estuaries
Source Institutions
An estuary is a body of water that is created when freshwater from rivers and streams flows into the saltwater of an ocean.
Shoebox Dinosaur Dig Site
Source Institutions
In this activity, (on page 6 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs) learners participate in a hands-on fossil excavation.
Hold It
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate the special shapes, holding structures and holding behaviors that real organisms use in streams, rivers, creeks or coast intertidal zones to a
Cave in a Cup
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity), learners will model how caves are formed by placing one piece of chalk in a cup of vinegar and another piece in a cup of water, then
Walk On Water Bugs
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 29-35), learners examine water pollution and filtration.
The Water Cycle
Source Institutions
Did you know that the water we use today is the same water found on Earth millions of years ago? The Earth constantly uses and recycles water in a process called the water cycle.
Food Grab
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.
Tracking Otters
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 38-43) has learners simulate the way scientists track and map the movement of otters in the wild using radio trackers.
Does the Moon Rotate?
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.
Investigating the Insides
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the composition of unseen materials using a variety of tools.
Water Motor
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will explore how energy from moving water can be used.
Freshwater Ecosystems
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a freshwater ecosystem in a large plastic bottle. Learners cut and prepare bottles, then fill with water, aquatic plants, snails and fish.
We Have Capture!
Source Institutions
Using simple materials, learners will construct the end effector (grasping device) of a robotic arm and use the device to capture and pick up an object.
What is a "Model"?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate the behavior of the atmosphere.
Shaking It!
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.
