Shake a Shrub
Source Institutions
This is an activity where learners will discover what types and how many insects live in their own backyard.
Family Math Activity: Measuring with Paper Clips and M&Ms
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners and their caregivers use non-standard tools, like M&Ms and paper clips, to measure things around their home.
How to Test The Strength of Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the strength of different shapes. Fold paper into triangles, squares, and other shapes, then experiment with how much weight they can hold.
Beach Buckets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore a bucket of sand and beach objects.
Amazing Air
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a small "air cannon," and use its airflow to put out a candle (lit with the help of an adult).
Handwashing Laboratory Activities: Fingerprint Technique
Source Institutions
In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners compare bacteria growth on two petri dishes containing nutrient agar: one that has been touched by a finger washed only with water and one that has been tou
Make Your Own Weather Station
Source Institutions
This three-part activity shows learners how to build three meteorology tools: a wind vane, a rain gauge, and a barometer.
Crazy About Kites
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.
Make a Water Cycle Wristband
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners thread colored beads onto string. Each beach represent a process of the water cycle.
Pop Fly
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners invent a way to send a Ping-Pong ball flying high enough to catch it - like football with a twist!
Why is the Sky Purple?
Source Institutions
This simple hands-on activity demonstrates why the sky appears blue on a sunny day and red during sunrise and sunset.
Odd or Even
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners play a game and try to collect the most cards by guessing if the next number to appear will be odd or even.
Model Well
Source Institutions
In this quick activity about pollutants and groundwater (page 2 of PDF under Water Clean-up Activity), learners build a model well with a toilet paper tube.
An Object in Motion
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page nine of the pdf), learners use balloons to explore how a rocket works. It is suggested they also work to see how they can alter the velocity of the rocket.
Snake
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will construct their own spiral "snake" and use it to explore the relationship between heat and kinetic energy.
Coat Hanger Chimes
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will--using nothing more than a coat hanger and some string--explore and understand sound energy and how it moves.
Making Circuits
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore electricity and conductivity to find that many things conduct electricity including copper, pencil lead, fruit, play-doh, and even people!
Keeps on Pumpin': Your Heart
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the great pump in their chests--the human heart!
PomPom Toss
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a game that helps young mathematicians recognize how the numbers 0 through 5 are related. Learners toss five pompoms into circle made out of string on the floor.
Convection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model atmospheric convection currents using food coloring, water, and clear cups. Activity includes step-by-step instructions, STEM connections, and more.
