Sky Diver
Source Institutions
Students design and build their own parachutes in this hands-on engineering project.

Acid (and Base) Rainbows
Learners use red cabbage juice and pH indicator paper to test the acidity and basicity of household materials. The activity links this concept of acids and bases to acid rain and other pollutants.

Sky Glider Challenge
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners use two helium-filled balloons to build a blimp that can travel in a straight path across the room.

Jet Propulsion
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners work in pairs to examine the four basic stages of a turbine engine.

Battling for Oxygen
Working in groups, learners model the continuous destruction and creation of ozone (O3) molecules, which occur in the ozone layer.

ANTacid: Indicator Paper on an Anthill
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make acid/base indicator paper, place the indicator paper on an anthill, disturb a bunch of ants, and then observe what happens!

Exploring the Ocean with Robots
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are introduced to robotic submarines called gliders. Learners make “gliders” from plastic syringes and compare these to Cartesian bottles and plastic bubbles.

Air, It's Really There
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on molecular motion in gases. Learners compare the mass of a basketball when it is deflated and after it has been inflated.
