What Does Spit Do?
Source Institutions
Some animals can swallow food whole, but humans have to chew. In this activity, learners will investigate what saliva does chemically to food before we even swallow.
Cardio Comparisons
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how their heart rate changes in different situations.
Shake It Up!
Source Institutions
Learners drop a magnet through a coil of wire to create electric current in a circuit. LEDs in the circuit allow learners to detect the direction of current flow.
The Checks Lab
Source Institutions
A group of learners has an envelope containing a series of bank checks. A few checks are removed at a time, and the team attempts to construct a plausible scenario which involves those checks.
Carbon Cycle Roleplay
Source Institutions
In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the carbon cycle using movement and props to aid in comprehension.
Rhythm Painting
Source Institutions
In this activity, early learners create paintings by making music and rhythm. Learners place paper in cans, add paint-soaked beans (or pebbles) and put the tops on.
"Build a Bacterium" Scavenger Hunt
Source Institutions
Working in small groups, learners receive a written scenario regarding a bacterium with a certain goal it must carry out.
Cave in a Cup
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity), learners will model how caves are formed by placing one piece of chalk in a cup of vinegar and another piece in a cup of water, then
Apartment Buildings and More
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, young learners investigate multi-level buildings.
Double or More
Source Institutions
Choose a recipe to double (or triple, quadruple, or halve). Show everyone the recipe and engage them in figuring out: How much will we need to increase the recipe to feed everyone?
Sensory Hi-Lo Hunt
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.
Cookie Surface Area
Source Institutions
This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.
Breaking Beams
Learners investigate stress and strain by designing, building, and testing beams made from polymer clay.
Exploring Bouncing Balls
Source Institutions
Learners explore the physical properties of a variety of balls and how they bounce.
Pulleys
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners experiment with pulleys and find that they can decrease the effort needed when using a pulley to lift or move different loads.
Built in Stopwatch
Source Institutions
In this activity (3rd on the page), learners investigate circadian rhythms by examining how well people do with estimating time.
Super Spinners
Learners build at least two different spinners (tops) to investigate how mass distribution, size, and shape affect the length of time the spinner spins.
Partners in Pollination
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners identify the reproductive parts of plants and the animal (bee) structures involved in pollination.
M&M's in Different Sugar Solutions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate whether having sugar already dissolved in water affects the speed of dissolving and the movement of sugar and color through the water.
Scented Dough
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners follow a recipe to create play dough scented with fruit-flavored drink mix.
