Out of Sight: Remote Vehicle Activity
Source Institutions
In this robotics activity, learners drive a remote-controlled car through a course to learn the challenges faced while trying to operate a planetary rover.
Carbon Cycle Poster
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners gain knowledge about how carbon moves through all four of the Earth’s major spheres (biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere), and understand how humans influenc
Generating and Recording Data
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners use a "function machine" to collect and organize simple data. The function machine in this case is a cardboard box and the input/output data are paper fish.
Making Tangram Pieces by Folding Paper
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners follow step-by-step directions for making tangram pieces out of folded and torn paper. First, learners read "Grandfather Tang's Story" by Ann Tompert.
Viral Packaging
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create virus models, including nucleic acid and proteins, using simple materials. This resource includes information about virus structure and gene therapy.
Get Moving! Active Play Indoors and Outdoors
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the importance of active play.
Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) with Powdery Mildew Fungi
Source Institutions
This exercise can be used to stimulate the investigative nature of learners as they use forensic plant pathology techniques to prove the learners' innocence in a mock murder investigation.
Investigating the Line
Source Institutions
In the related activity called "Colors Collide or Combine," learners are intrigued by the apparent "line" that forms where colors from M&M coatings meet but do not mix.
Our Sense of Sight: How We Perceive Movement, Depth and Illusions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate visual perception as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.
An Inventory of My Traits
Source Institutions
In this genetics meets math activity, learners take inventories of their own easily-observable genetic traits and compare those inventories with other learners in groups.
Hazardous Chemicals in Your Neighborhood
Source Institutions
In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine hazardous chemicals and their effects on human health and the environment.
Crime Scene: The Case of the Missing Computer Chip
Source Institutions
Learners use scientific processes to solve a crime. As they get clues, learners must create a hypothesis then adjust that hypothesis as more information is revealed.
Rainbow in the Room
Source Institutions
This activity generates learner excitement about light through the creation of a room-sized rainbow.
It's the "Rain," Man
Source Institutions
In this weather forecasting activity, learners use common materials to construct a rain gauge and measure daily, monthly, and yearly rainfall.
Stepping Out: Hop, Skip, Jump
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.
That Sinking Feeling
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners observe how salinity and temperature affect the density of water, to better understand the Great Ocean Conveyor.
Traveling Seeds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make three different "seed" types and determine which design flies the farthest.
Tossing Coins
Source Institutions
In this math game (Page 17 of the Are You Game? PDF), learners investigate probability by tossing coins.
Rain Machine (Solar Still)
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in groups to build simple solar stills filled with salt water. After the stills are complete, learners observe what happens when they place the stills in the sun.
Modeling an HIV Particle
Source Institutions
This activity helps learners visualize the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) by constructing three-dimensional HIV particle models from paper.
