Temperature Tactics
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.
Masses & Springs
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners use a realistic mass and spring laboratory. They hang masses from springs and adjust the spring stiffness and damping.
There's Always Room For JELL-O
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners cut wells in JELL-O© and load the wells with different detergent solutions.
Breathing Blue
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test exhaled breath for carbon dioxide and learn how to use an indicator as a simple way to measure pH.
The Shadow Knows II
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.
Out of Sight: Remote Vehicle Activity
Source Institutions
In this robotics activity, learners drive a remote-controlled car through a course to learn the challenges faced while trying to operate a planetary rover.
Water Walk
Source Institutions
Learners take a field trip along a local body of water and conduct a visual survey to discover information about local land use and water quality.
Ancient Sun Observations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.
Weather Vane and Anemometer
Source Institutions
In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.
Measure the Pressure: The "Wet" Barometer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.
Ping Pong Ball Shooter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use ABS pipe and an air leaf blower to make a strong shooting machine.
Newton Car
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion.
Rocket Wind Tunnel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.
Our Sense of Sight: Eye Anatomy and Function
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.
Changing Body Positions: How Does the Circulatory System Adjust?
Source Institutions
In this activity about how the body regulates blood pressure (page 117 of the PDF), learners make and compare measurements of heart rate and blood pressure from three body positions: sitting, standing
Plugged in to CO2
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate various appliances and electronics, discovering how much energy each uses and how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is released to produce that energy.
Water Body Salinities II
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discuss the different salinities of oceans, rivers and estuaries.
The Parachuting Egg
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.
Cleaning with Dirt
Source Institutions
Learners build a filter from old soda bottles and dirt. They create polluted water, and pour it through their filter to clean it.
Trail Impact Study
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.
