Virtual Farm Management
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Farm Animals Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into raising livestock.
Clean It Up
Source Institutions
In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners get their hands dirty by playing in a container of soil. Then they compare the effectiveness of cleaning their hands with just a paper towel vs.
Penny Cup Game
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out why two eyes are better than one!
Tactile Mazes
Source Institutions
In this activity (15th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners use glue and cardboard to construct a maze they use with their eyes closed.
Where Was That?
Source Institutions
In this activity (9th activity on the page), learners work in pairs to see how their perception of touch differs from reality.
Become a Neurologist: Detective Threshold
Source Institutions
In this neuroscience activity (4th activity on the page), learners make their own set of Von Frey hairs to test detection thresholds.
How to Extract DNA From Anything Living
Source Institutions
In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.
Finger Reading
Source Institutions
In this activity (10th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners make Braille letters out of cork or cardboard and map pins.
Build a Soundscape
Source Institutions
This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.
The Model Neuron
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a model of a neuron by using colored clay or play dough. Learners use diagrams to build the model and then label the parts on a piece of paper.
Pulse of Life: Measure Your Pulse
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners take their own pulse and explore how heart rate is affected by various activities.
Peripheral Vision
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore peripheral vision. Learners collect data about their ability to see shapes, colors, or letters using their peripheral vision.
Moving Molecules!
Source Institutions
In this activity about molecular diffusion (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity), learners will make predictions and move molecules of iodine through a seemingly solid plastic sandw
A Stand-up Egg
Source Institutions
In this science trick, learners get an egg to stand-up on its long-axis vertical to a table's top.
Polar Bear Glove
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how animal in cold areas stay warm.
Lateral Inhibition
Source Institutions
Which one of your eyes are dominant? Do they act independently or are they equally "in control?" This activity explores how your eyes work (or don't work) together.
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.
Wolf Survival is Just a Roll Away
Source Institutions
In this simulation activity, learners will raise a pack of wolves under ten different conditions: without human interference and with human interference.
Disappearing Glass Rods
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners discover how they can make glass objects "disappear." Learners submerge glass objects like stirring rods into a beaker of Wesson™ oil to explore how the principles of
Chilean Sea Bass: Off the Menu
Source Institutions
In this data analysis activity, learners use data collected by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to study Chilean sea bass populations.
