Sled Kite
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.
As Straight as a Pole
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.
Particle Detection
Source Institutions
By tossing, collecting, and sorting beanbags, learners understand how the IBEX spacecraft uses its sensors to detect and map the locations of particle types in the interstellar boundary.
Exploring Fabrication: Self-Assembly
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.
Self-Assembly Game
Source Institutions
This is a quick game about self-assembly (page 2 of PDF under Self-Assembly Activity). Like the molecules of DNA, learners will self-assemble into a pattern by following a simple set of rules.
