Sidewalk Constellations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will go outside and create a constellation.
What Goes Up...
Source Institutions
In this activity about gravity (page eight of the pdf), learners will very simply explore how gravity affects objects using balls and toys.
Enhanced Water Taste Test
Learners conduct a "blind" taste-test of several types of enhanced or fitness water drinking water that has commercially added substances like vitamins, sugars, or herbs.
Views From Windows
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use their imaginations and picture a scene in their heads.
The Space Place
Source Institutions
In this activity (23rd on the page), learners conduct an experiment to examine memory and learning.
Free Fall
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hockey), learners will use a simple physics of motion and gravity demonstration to test their predicting skills.
Descartes' Diver
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how changes in fluid pressure affect the buoyancy of a Cartesian diver inside a plastic soda bottle.
Gummy Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.
Exploring Liquids
Source Institutions
Young learners investigate and observe the properties of three liquids -- water, vegetable oil, and corn syrup. They use their senses to collect data and ask and answer questions.
Shape Up!
Source Institutions
In this activity (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each
Cylindrical Mirror
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a cylindrical mirror to see themselves as others see them.
Screaming Balloon
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Extreme Sounds) about sound vibrations, learners will investigate which small objects, such as coins, hex nuts, or marbles, produce t
Vibrant Cords
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how the voice works and feel the vibrations produced by vocal cords.
Words in Motion, Motion in Words
Source Institutions
In this art activity (page seven of the pdf), learners will use their creativity to make a "motion collage." Each student will be encouraged to draw a picture of something that moves to be a part of t
Iridescent Art
Source Institutions
This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.
What's the Difference?
Source Institutions
In this sorting activity, learners play a game in which they try to identify the largest number of differences between two objects.
Shadow Dance
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment with shadows and light sources to understand the relationship between the angle illumination and the shadow's length.
Make a Sun Clock: Tell Time with the Sun
Source Institutions
Before there were clocks, people used shadows to tell time. In this outdoor activity, learners will discover how to tell time using only a compass, a pencil, a handy printout, and a sunny day.
Ice Melt
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore basic information about thermodynamics by experimenting with ice. Learners will compare ice melting rates on metal pans or plastic cutting boards.
Universal Indicator Rainbow Trout
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 2 of the PDF, learners discover how color changes can help scientists distinguish between acids and bases.
