Speedy Shelter
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners invent an emergency shelter that can fit a person and is sturdy and quick to build.
Roller Coasters
Source Institutions
In this design challenge, learners will create their own roller coaster using household objects for the track and a marble or small ball as their cart.
Straw Rockets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create unique rockets. Each rocket will be powered by air as the learner will blow into a straw and watch their rocket fly.
What Sort?
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 22-33), learners do the kind of work genetic scientists do, sorting and comparing (images of) genetic material strands called chromosomes.
Exploring Materials: Graphene
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.
Exploring Fabrication: Gummy Capsules
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.
Building A Storm Drain
Source Institutions
In this design challenge, learners design a storm drain cover that catches litter to protect waterways to learn about how local actions can have system-level effects.
Exploring the Universe: Nebula Spin Art
Source Institutions
In this activity, participants will learn about how gigantic clouds of gas and dust in space, called nebulas, are formed. They'll create their own colorful model nebula using paint and a spinner.
Exploring Forces: Static Electricity
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.
Habitat Web
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the web of connections among living and non-living things.
Exploring Materials: Graphene
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 4 of the PDF, explore the unique molecular structure and conductive nature of graphene. Learners construct a circuit with a battery and LED bulb.
Rain Forest in Your Room
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 19-24) introduces learners to the rain forest's layers—emergent, canopy, understory, and forest floor—and has learners make paper lianas (vines that live attached to trees) and
Rip It Up And Start Again - Composting
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will experiment to find how long it takes to compost paper. They will create their own compost container and test different variables.
Fungus Among Us
Source Institutions
In this environmental health activity, learners grow and observe bread mold and other kinds of common fungi over the course of 3-7 days.
Target Practice
Source Institutions
In this dynamic activity, learners build a catapult that launches projectiles, such as marshmallows.
The Vaccine & You
Source Institutions
In this card-based personal choice activity, learners review and sort COVID-19 and vaccine science information.
Sky Floater Challenge
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.
Size It Up
Source Institutions
In this artistic activity, learners blow up a smaller picture into a larger one, by using a grid.
