Cleaning Air with Balloons
Learners observe a simple balloon model of an electrostatic precipitator. These devices are used for pollutant recovery in cleaning industrial air pollution.
Magnet Powered Pinwheel
Source Institutions
Learners use the current flowing in a wire to create a magnetic field that turns a magnet. Learners can use this property of electromagnetism to build a magnet-powered pinwheel.
Thaumatrope
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make an optical illusion toy from the 1800s to explore persistence of vision.
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
Static Cling
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate static electricity using everyday objects at four different stations.
Soap Bubble Art
Source Institutions
Capture soap bubble patterns on paper! In this activity, learners can create beautiful pictures from popping soap bubbles.
Exploring Properties: Surface Area
Source Institutions
This hands-on activity demonstrates how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.
Balloon Drive
Source Institutions
In this challenge, learners make a helium balloon hover in one spot and then move it through an obstacle course using air currents.
Stretching Wires
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners determine the elastic and plastic properties of different types of metal wires.
Atmosphere Composition Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.
Salt Crystal Garden
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore saturated solutions and discover how crystals form.
How it is Currently Done
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners observe how wind creates ocean currents.
Kitchen Jamboree
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe, explore and investigate vibrating instruments in everyday places and create music in unique ways.
Liquid Crystals Interact with Light!
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners explore the properties of liquid crystals, which are responsible for why mood rings change color.
Red, White and Blue II Demonstration
Source Institutions
In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the rule "likes dissolve likes" by combining three, immiscible liquids to create a colorful density column.
Erupting Fizz
Source Institutions
This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.
Quadratic Functions: Toothpicks and Transformations
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore transformations and quadratic functions through toothpick patterns.
Space Stations: Follow the Bouncing Ball!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners predict whether a ball on Earth or a ball on the Moon bounces higher when dropped and why.
Weather Forecasting
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting) is a full inquiry investigation into meteorology and forecasting.
