Causes and Effects of Melting Ice
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of density-driven currents (thermohaline circulation) and how these currents are affected by climate change.
Monitoring Amphibians
Source Institutions
In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.
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).
Make Your Own Soda Pop
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will identify the instances of physical change, chemical change, and solutions while making homemade soda pop.
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.
Protein Factory
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners take on the role of various parts of the cell in order to model the process of protein synthesis.
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.
Delicious Smelling Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use household materials to investigate and explore their ability to smell an odor.
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.
The Power of Graphene
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.
Stuck on You: Adhesion
Source Institutions
Learners explore water adhesion and learn about why water molecules are more strongly attracted to some substances than others.
Squidgy Slime
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners transform two ingredients (4% polyvinyl alcohol solution and 4% borax solution) into gooey slime.
Sticky Engineering Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.
Milk Plastic
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners transform everyday milk into small plastic figurines and jewelry. Use this activity to introduce learners to monomers and polymers.
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.
Do Plants Need Sunlight?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners find out what happens when they cover leaves with pieces of black construction paper. This activity shows learners that plants need sunlight to survive.
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.
