Exploring Size: Scented Solutions
Source Institutions
This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).
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.
Comparing the Amount of Acid in Different Solutions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use detergent solution to compare two solutions containing vinegar and cream of tartar.
Temperature Affects Dissolving
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to compare how well cocoa mix dissolves in cold and hot water. They will see that cocoa mix dissolves much better in hot water. Adult supervision recommended.
Bury Me Not!
Source Institutions
This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs) is a full inquiry investigation into decomposition.
Exploring Forces: Gravity
Source Institutions
In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.
Seeds: Roots and Shoots
Source Institutions
In this indepth hands-on activity, learners build a structure that allows them to observe the growth of roots and the correlation between root growth and stem extension.
What's in a Penny?
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners use chemical reactions to observe the composition of an alloy.
How Might Elevated CO2 Affect Plants
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to investigate the effect of elevated levels on CO2 on plant growth.
Off Base
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the factors that tend to resist changes in pH of the ocean and why the ocean is becoming more acidic.
Biomimicry: Synthetic Gecko Tape Through Nanomolding
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo, learners examine a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics the behavior of the gecko foot.
I Spy Nano!
Source Institutions
In this game, learners try to find nano-related objects on a game board. Learners investigate the different ways nano is in the world around us.
Combustion
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners discover that the weight of the product of combustion is greater than that of the starting material.
The Power of Graphene
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.
The Dead Zone: A Marine Horror Story
Source Institutions
In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien
Biotech in a Bag
Source Institutions
In a series of three experiments, learners explore the basics of biotechnology using self-locking plastic baggies. Each experiment demonstrates a phenomenon or principle of biotechnology.
Forces at the Nanoscale: Nano Properties of Everyday Plants
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.
Change in Temperature: Exothermic Reaction
Source Institutions
Learners add calcium chloride to a baking soda solution and observe an increase in temperature along with the production of a gas and a white precipitate. These are all signs of a chemical reaction.
Burst a Bubble
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their own bubble solution. Learners will explore chemistry, geometry and trial and error through this activity.
Squishy Letters
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will practice writing while making a fun messy craft. Learners will explore texture and color as well as develop writing and fine motor skills through this activity.
