Using Ohm's Law to Build a Voltage Divider
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners apply Ohm’s Law to construct voltage divider circuits. Learners discover how to read resistor codes and calculate resistor values.
Colors of Stars
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe colors in the flame of a burning candle to explore connections between matter, light, color and temperature -- basic concepts of matter and energy.
A Question of Balance
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers use scales and measures when designing a manufacturing process to ensure that final products are uniform in weight or count.
A Tree of Genetic Traits
Source Institutions
Learners mark their traits for tongue rolling, PTC tasting (a harmless, bitter chemical), and earlobe attachment on tree leaf cut-outs.
Peppy's Day in the Park
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners build Peppy the dog the best trail and park for running around.
Stack-o-Pennies Shop
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their height in pennies.
How Many Pennies?
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their weight in pennies.
Fish Eyes: More than Meets the Eye
Source Institutions
In this data collection and analysis activity, learners evaluate fish physiology and ecology using vision research data from Dr.
Going Green
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.
Diffusion & Osmosis with Data Analysis
Source Institutions
This three-part lab helps learners understand the essential principles governing diffusion and osmosis.
Cylinders and Scale
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the relative growth of lengths, areas, and volumes as cylinders are scaled up.
Fill it to Capacity
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners rotate through six estimating and measuring centers. First, learners read the book, "Room for Ripley" by Stuart J.
Moving Model Glacier
Source Institutions
In this goopy activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will model glacial movement with “gak,” a white glue and liquid starch mixture.
Mountains in the Sea
Source Institutions
In this 6-7 day investigation, learners begin with an introduction to seamounts that are present in the Gulf of Alaska.
Can Energy be Created or Destroyed?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.
Tomb Mapping
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine the culture and history of the tomb site.
Counting Your Lucky Stars
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners sample a star field to estimate the number of stars in the universe.
Looking Back Through Time
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create their own archaeological profiles.
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.
PVC Water Squirter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a water squirter using a PVC pipe, dowel, and foam. This activity is great for the summer time and introduces learners to forces and water pressure.
