Light Quest
Source Institutions
Learners test their "light-smarts" by playing a game called "Light Quest!" The game board represents an atom and each player represents an electron that has been bumped into the atom's outer unstable
Bent Toward Science: Refraction
Source Institutions
This is an activity about the behavior of light. Using simple, everyday objects, learners will discover that light moves in straight lines until acted upon by another object.
Paper Whites
Source Institutions
Learners observe different paper samples under ordinary room light and under a black light to learn some of the chemical differences between different types of paper.
Dirty Oil, Oily Dirt
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how sediment is affected in an oil spill. Learners investigate the differences between heavy and light oil as well as the differences between different sediments.
Exploring Materials: Graphene
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.
Hot Air
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners set up an experiment to investigate the effects of hot air on the path of a laser beam.
As Light as Air
Source Institutions
Learners measure a bottle full of air, and then use a vacuum pump to remove the air. When they re-weigh the bottle, learners find the mass is about 0.8g less.
Lighting Up Celery Stalks
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a series of hands-on experiments that demonstrate how the working of plants' veins, known as capillary action, enables water to travel throughout the length of a pla
Tie Dye Painting
Source Institutions
This is an activity exploring color and color mixing.
Round, Light and Hollow
Source Institutions
In this activity about bones (page 12 of PDF), learners investigate and compare the weight-bearing capacity of solid and hollow cylinders.
Properties of Dust
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners carry out a scientific investigation of dust in their classroom. Learners produce an analysis on graph paper of the dust they collect over the course of a few days.
Heat Speeds Up Reactions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the effect of heat on a reaction.
