Ripening of Fruits and Vegetables
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test the rate of ripening fruit and vegetables and use a chemical to inhibit the ripening process.
Bend a Carrot
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the process of osmosis by adding salt to a sealed bag of raw carrots and comparing it to a control.
Statistics: Steppin' Out
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners construct box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Learners investigate whether or not long-legged people run faster than short-legged people.
Going Green
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.
Greeting Card Boxes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make cool boxes out of old (or new) greeting cards or postcards.
Up, Up, and Away
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore the real world meaning of slope. Learners conduct a balloon experiment in which they measure the circumference and flight time of deflating balloons.
Exploring Size: Scented Solutions
Source Institutions
This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).
Hand Biometrics Technology
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers incorporate biometric technologies into products as well as the challenges of engineers who must weigh privacy, security and other issues when designin
Can You "See" Thermal Radiation?
Source Institutions
Use this hands-on activity to demonstrate infrared and thermal radiation.
Breathing Room
Source Institutions
In this health activity, learners explore breathing, lungs and asthma. Learners test their lung capacity by blowing air into balloons.
Gravity Fountains
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into the forces of gravity and air pressure.
Measuring and Protecting Skin
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.
Heart and Lungs
Source Institutions
In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.
What Causes Wind?
Source Institutions
In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.
What does Color have to do with Cooling?
Source Institutions
In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.
Mass, Area, Volume
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 18 of PDF), learners will measure the volume of impact craters created by projectiles of different masses.
Temperature Tactics
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.
Three Little Pigs
Source Institutions
In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.
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.
Canned Heat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.
