Caring Together: Activity Stations
Source Institutions
In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners explore the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) by rotating through several activity stations.

Sea Level: On The Rise
Source Institutions
Learners will understand the relationship between climate change and sea-level rise.

Breathing Yeasties
Source Institutions
In this life science activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore the carbon cycle by mixing yeast, sugar and water.

Wind Tunnel Testing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.

Blue Sky
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners explore why the sky is blue and the sunset is red, using a simple setup comprising a transparent plastic box, water, and powdered milk.

Mystery of the Disappearing Cottonwoods
Source Institutions
Learners will explore the scientific mystery behind a disappearing group of trees by examining data and attempting to explain the decline.

Salts & Solubility
Source Institutions
In this online interactive simulation, learners will add different salts to water and then watch the salts dissolve and achieve a dynamic equilibrium with solid precipitate.

ZOOM Glue
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix milk, vinegar, baking soda, and water to create sticky glue. Use this activity to explain how engineers develop and evaluate new materials and products.

Bone Basics
Source Institutions
This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Bone Regrowth Activity) about the two main components of bone - collagen and minerals (like calcium) - and how they each contribute to its flexibility a

Jell-O Model of Microfluidics
Source Institutions
This activity uses Jell-O(R) to introduce learners to microfluidics, the flow of fluids through microscopic channels.

Shipping for Survival
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

Why Circulate?
Source Institutions
In this activity related to the human circulatory system (on page 10 of the PDF), learners observe the dispersion of a drop of food coloring in water, draw conclusions about the movement of dissolved

Dunking the Planets
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

Malformed Frogs
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Malformed Frogs) is a full inquiry investigation into using indicator species to assess the health of an environment.

Visualizing How the Vestibular System Works
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 59 of the PDF), learners spin and observe false eyelashes in jars of water (prepared at least 1 day ahead of time) to investigate the effects of different types of motion on the

Scavenger Hunt
Source Institutions
An outdoor scavenger hunt helps learners consider the theme of "What Is Life?" Learners explore what living organisms are, including how organisms meet basic needs of food, shelter and water to surviv

Color Me Blue
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners add dilute bleach solution to water that has been dyed with yellow, blue, and green food color.

Underwater Hide and Seek
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experience firsthand how marine animals' adaptive coloration camouflages them from prey.

Spaghetti Strength
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners explore how engineers characterize building materials.

Sugar Crystal Challenge
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.
