Design a Parachute
Source Institutions
After a discussion about what a parachute is and how it works, learners create parachutes using different materials that they think will work best.

Seed Dispersal
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and bingo-like game, learners explore why and how seeds spread far from the plants that produce them.

Lichen Looking
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners search for lichen, a combination of a fungus and an alga living together. Lichen grow where most other plants cannot, on rocks, the trunks of trees, logs and sand.

Launch It
Add to list DetailsIn this design challenge activity, learners use a balloon and other simple materials to design an air-powered rocket that can hit a distant target.

Magic Wand
Source Institutions
In this activity about light and perception, learners create pictures in thin air.
Pollution and Lung Health
Source Institutions
Learners will build a lung model to understand how their lungs and diaphragm work to make them breathe.

Rocket Reactions
Source Institutions
The "Rocket Reactions" activity is an exciting way to learn about how materials interact, behave, and change.

Parabola Basketball
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

Let's Dew It!
Source Institutions
From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.

Kites
Source Institutions
In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

What is a “Convection Cell”?
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners can observe a number of small convection cells generated from a mixture of aluminum powder and silicon oil on a hot plate.
Haunted by Hurricanes: Use Data to Learn About Hurricanes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will determine if the frequency and intensity of hurricanes are changing using real data from the National Hurricane Center.

Sizing Up Temperature
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore Charles' Law in a syringe.

Atmospheric Collisions
Source Institutions
In this activity/demonstration, learners observe what happens when two ping pong balls are suspended in the air by a hair dryer. Use this activity to demonstrate how rain drops grow by coalescence.

Loony Balloons
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how changing the center of gravity of a balloon affects how it travels. Learners fill a balloon with a little bit of water and insert into an empty balloon.

Wind Tubes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create and experiment with wind tubes. These tubes are a playful and inventive way to explore the effect that moving air has on objects.

Balloon Car
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore force and motion by constructing cardboard cars that are propelled by balloons.

Electric Cup Guitar
Source Institutions
Make a one-string "guitar" by stringing a cup with some fishing line. You amplify the plucking of the string by placing a piezo contact microphone and mini battery powered amplifier inside the cup.

Fungus Among Us
Source Institutions
In this environmental health activity, learners grow and observe bread mold and other kinds of common fungi over the course of 3-7 days.

It's a Gas!
Source Institutions
In this simple activity, learners see the production of a gas, which visibly fills up a balloon placed over the neck of a bottle.
