Wandering Wands
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct wands that play different notes depending on information from light sensors programmed via a PICO Cricket.

Solve The Fall
Source Institutions
In this twist on a classic design challenge, learners will try to stop a bouncy ball from bouncing as they explore how to control the fall of an object.

Carbon Cycle Roleplay
Source Institutions
In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the carbon cycle using movement and props to aid in comprehension.

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.
