Solidly Platonic
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners follow simple directions to explore and create platonic solids.
Soil Density
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will test soil content using their sample, some water and a container that seals.
Stretch Your Potential
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a toy that demonstrates the First Law of Thermodynamics or the Law of Conservation of Energy.
Mold Terrarium: What Grows on Leftover Food?
Source Institutions
This activity shows you how to make a mold terrarium using a jar and leftover food.
Water Drop Races
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore the physics of liquids and gas by playing with both! Learners of any age use their own breath to move drops of water across a smooth wax paper surface.
Make Your Own Magnus Glider
Source Institutions
Build a glider that uses the same physics as a curve ball, for less than a dime.
Destination Tidepool
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 7 of pdf), learners research tide pool ecosystems, and then create brochures that "advertise" these environments.
Spill Spread
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners explore how ocean currents spread all kinds of pollution—including oil spills, sewage, pesticides and factory waste—far beyond where the pollution originates.
Rocket Pinwheel
Source Institutions
This is an activity about motion, power, air and Newton’s Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Paper Folding: Unfurling Geometric Paper Shapes
Source Institutions
Use geometry, a ruler, and a steady hand to create these amazing unfurling paper folds!
A Merry-Go-Round for Dirty Air
Learners build a model of a pollution control device--a cyclone. A cyclone works by whirling the polluted air in a circle and accumulating particles on the edges of the container.
Floating Candles
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners observe a combustion reaction and deduce the components necessary for the reaction to occur.
Number Systems and Number Theory: Factor Game
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners play a game to identify the properties of prime, composite, abundant, deficient and perfect numbers.
Mountain Mash
Source Institutions
Learners model the processes that formed some of Earth's largest mountain ranges: the Himalayas, the Andes, and the Alps.
Valves and Pumps: A Demonstration
Source Institutions
This is a demonstration you can use to show learners how valves and pumps work in concert to move blood through the circulatory system.
Penny Rubbing
Source Institutions
In this art-related activity, learners make a coin rubbing—a process similar to what archeologists may do with ancient artifacts. This activity can be used in connection with a history or art lesson.
Glider
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a paper glider to experiment with aerodynamic forces.
DIY Sunprints
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will see how UV light affects colors over time by making their own sunprint on construction paper.
Bernoulli Levitator
Source Institutions
Demonstrate the Bernoulli Principle using simple materials on a small or large scale.
