Dye Like A Natural
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners stain fabrics--on purpose!
Foam Rocket
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.
Electricity: Fruit Batteries
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a battery from fruit. This activity helps learners explore electricity, electrochemistry, and series circuits as well as the process of scientific inquiry.
Waves: An Alternative Energy Source
Source Institutions
In this data analysis and environmental science activity, learners evaluate the feasibility of wave energy as a practical alternative energy source using ocean observing system (OOS) buoys.
AM in the PM
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will listen to as many radio stations as possible to discover that AM radio signals can travel many hundreds of miles at night.
What is Blood Pressure?
Source Institutions
In this activity about heart health (on page 34 of the PDF), learners measure their own blood pressure using an electronic blood pressure monitor with a self-inflating cuff (included in cost of materi
Structure of Matter: Pigment vs. Iridescence
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) about how visible light is affected by tiny nanoscale structures, producing iridescence on butterfly wings, soap bubbl
Super Soaking Materials
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.
Cardboard Opaque Projector
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a projector out of cardboard to view their favorite images (such as storybook illustrations) on the wall.
Cardboard Box Camera Obscura
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a device that projects images onto a surface, so they can trace landscapes and other sights.
Off Base
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the factors that tend to resist changes in pH of the ocean and why the ocean is becoming more acidic.
Round, Light and Hollow
Source Institutions
In this activity about bones (page 12 of PDF), learners investigate and compare the weight-bearing capacity of solid and hollow cylinders.
The Power of Graphene
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.
The Dead Zone: A Marine Horror Story
Source Institutions
In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien
Bag of Bones
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use cereal to conduct an experiment and investigate how decreased bone density is related to increased risk of bone fracture.
Forces at the Nanoscale: Nano Properties of Everyday Plants
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.
Fruity-Glows: Pictures of Health on a Microarray Canvas
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 12), learners apply the concepts of pixilation and pointillism to the world of biomedical science.
Prepare for a Construction Zone Field Trip
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore work, forces, simple machines, and construction. This lesson guide includes simple ways to demonstrate these principles as well as hands-on activities.
That's the Way the Ball Bounces: Level 3
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, volume, density, and bounce height.
Keep it Cool
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers have met the challenge of keeping foods, liquids, and other items cool.
