Pollution in Our Watershed
Source Institutions
By building a simple watershed with paper and markers and then using a spray bottle to simulate precipitation, learners will understand how pollution accumulates in our water sources, especially from
Angle Hunting
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a hand-made protractor to measure angles they find in playground equipment.
Atoms and Matter (K-2)
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.
School of Fish
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make fish cutouts that propel through the water with the help of surface tension.
Does it Stick?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will observe magnetic properties and sort objects by them. This activity uses everyday items to teach learners about magnetic forces, poles and properties of magnets.
Invisible Ink
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners experiment with lemon juice and paper to create a message that can only be revealed using chemistry.
Nature of Dye
Source Institutions
"Nature of Dye" allows participants to create their own dyes and art while exploring how chemicals interact and how these interactions can have real-world applications.
Animal Tape Rescue
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will "rescue" animals from tape and then sort the animals. Learners will use science process skills such as categorizing and making observations while they play.
Up and Over
Source Institutions
This is an activity about Newton's First Law of Motion - a body in motion tends to stay in motion, or a body at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.
Balancing Act
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build thier own balance scale. Learners will explore weight and comparison through this activity.
Tie Dye Painting
Source Institutions
This is an activity exploring color and color mixing.
Magnetism Hunt
Source Institutions
In this activity about magnetism (page 4 of the PDF), learners will experiment with magnets and different objects to find out that not all metals are attracted to magnets.
Toma Todo
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a traditional Mexican game of chance with a twist. Learners take turns spinning a special "Toma Todo" top.
Black Holes: No Escape
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with marbles and weights to discover some basics about gravity and black holes.
Float Your Boat
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.
Animal Guess Who
Source Institutions
In this game, learners take turns guessing toy animals from around their house based on the toy's characteristics.
Current Events
Source Institutions
Learners model the ocean currents that carry hot water from the tropics to northern latitudes.
Topographic Investigation: Map an Underwater Surface
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a map of a hidden surface using a "sounding stick" -- a technique similar to how underwater maps were once made.
Hang Time
Source Institutions
Learn how to make and fly a paper helicopter! This simple activity includes a template (for the copter "blades") and instructions for folding, flying, and testing designs.
How do we name things?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will learn a bit about botany as the explore botanical names and common names of plants.
