Good Vibrations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment with their voices and noisemakers to understand the connections between vibrations and the sounds created by those vibrations.
Snug as a Bug
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners make models of homes that might protect small animals from the elements, then search living plants for real structures made by small animals.
Biobarcodes: Antibodies and Nanosensors
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo, learners investigate biobarcodes, a nanomedical technology that allows for massively parallel testing that can assist with disease diagnosis.
Hopper Circus
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and/or field trip, learners investigate the behavior of hopping animals.
Water Underground
Source Institutions
Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.
Dyeing Wool with Fungi
Source Institutions
In this activity (p.23 of PDF), learners dye wool with fungi. Learners discover that natural chemicals in fungi can dye wool different colors.
Strong Bones, Weak Bones
Source Institutions
Most people will break a bone in their body at some point in their life, but how much force does it take to break one?
Neural Network Signals
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.
The Bug Walk
Source Institutions
In this fun group activity involving music and movement, learners are introduced to the idea that many insects walk by using their legs to create "alternating triangles." Learners sing the "Ants Go Ma
Traveling Nanoparticles Model
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity) about diffusion of small molecules across cell membranes.
Our Sense of Sight: Eye Anatomy and Function
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.
This Bitter Be Good
Source Institutions
In this health and genetics activity, learners determine whether tasting the bitter compound PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) influences which vegetables a person likes.
Colorblind Dogs
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Colorblind Dogs) is a full inquiry investigation into dogs' ability (or inability) to see color.
Antibody Builder
Source Institutions
Learners use Duplo bricks to build antibodies with shapes that match model viruses.
Don't Stop for Hitchhikers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners role-play the part of lake inhabitants and the aquatic exotics who displace the native species.
Marine Skulls Cart
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners look at and touch marine animal skulls to compare them and think about what they eat.
Tree Growth Investigation
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into tree growth rates.
Science of Sunblock
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about nanotechnology making its way into everyday products, such as sunscreen, and how effective these invisible particl
Coverslip Traps
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use coverslips to collect organisms from a pond, estuary or marine environment and then examine what they have caught with a microscope.
“Chips” Off the Old Block?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners bake cookies by following different recipes to better understand genetic mutations. Everyone in the group bakes the same type of cookie: chocolate chip.
