Pea Brain!: Explorations in Estimation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

Meteoroids and the Craters They Make
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the formation of craters. Learners will examine how the size, angle and speed of a meteorite's impact affects the properties of craters.

Modeling Limits to Cell Size
Source Institutions
This investigation provides learners with a hands-on activity that simulates the changing relationship of surface areas-to-volume for a growing cell.

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

Watch It Fly
Source Institutions
Learners observe projectile motion by launching wooden balls off of a table top. They set up a rubber-band launcher so that each ball experiences a consistent amount of force.

How Big is Small
Source Institutions
In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.

Transit Tracks
Source Institutions
In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.

Energy Sources
Source Institutions
In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 5 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to compare how much energy is released as heat from two different foods.
