The Pulse of Gravity
Source Institutions
In this astronomy activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will examine the effects of gravity on a person’s pulse and explore how gravity can differ from planet to planet.
Rollback
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will make a can that will roll back after it has been rolled away to observe the interactions of kinetic and potential energy.
Rainbow Density Experiment
Source Institutions
In this colorful activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will make a multicolor density column by using different concentrations of sugar solutions.
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.
Oh Boy Buoyancy
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will explore the concept of buoyancy, especially as it relates to density.
Rice Handle
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners attempt to lift a jar full of rice using only a spoon.
Vibrant Cords
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how the voice works and feel the vibrations produced by vocal cords.
Cover Your Mouth
Source Institutions
In this health activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will discover why covering their mouth and nose while sneezing is so important.
Big Wave
Source Institutions
This is an activity about waves. Using marbles, paper clips and rubber bands, learners explore how waves behave.
Two Lenses in One
Source Institutions
