Rocket Science
Source Institutions
Learners create a small explosion by collecting hydrogen and oxygen gas together and squeezing them into a flame.
The Drake Equation
Source Institutions
In this math activity, based on the research of famed astronomer Frank Drake, learners calculate the possibilities of finding intelligent life elsewhere in the universe besides Earth.
Tangram Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity about tangrams, learners print and cut out their own tangram shapes and solve puzzles by fitting these geometric pieces together in a variety of ways.
Soil Density
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will test soil content using their sample, some water and a container that seals.
Exploring the Solar System: Mission to Space Board Game
Source Institutions
In this tabletop board game, players will represent a team of scientists and engineers sending a spacecraft on a mission to space.
Water Drop Races
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore the physics of liquids and gas by playing with both! Learners of any age use their own breath to move drops of water across a smooth wax paper surface.
Tabloid Science
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners analyze a fictionalized report of life on Mars, based on a real NASA satellite photo, and explore how to separate scientific fact from fiction.
Shadow Puppets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their own simple shadow puppets, and experiment with light and shadow while playing with them.
Sink or Float
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore and compare the buoyant properties of materials found in nature and in human-made materials.
Paper Folding: Unfurling Geometric Paper Shapes
Source Institutions
Use geometry, a ruler, and a steady hand to create these amazing unfurling paper folds!
How to View a Solar Eclipse
Source Institutions
This is an activity to do when there is a solar eclipse!
Moon and Stars
Source Institutions
In this craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.
DIY Sunprints
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will see how UV light affects colors over time by making their own sunprint on construction paper.
Shrinkers
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners use heat to shrink samples of polystyrene plastic (#6 recycle code). Learners compare the size and shape of the plastic pieces before and after shrinking.
Colour by Numbers: Image Representation
Source Institutions
This activity shows learners how computers use numbers to represent pictures. A grid is used to represent the pixels (short for picture elements) of a computer screen.
Gumdrop Chains and Shrinky Necklaces
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners thread gumdrops together to make a model of a polymer.
Fish Wheels
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners cut out and assemble wheels to explore how variations in fish body structures (mouth shape/position/teeth, body shape, tail shape, and coloration patterns) allow fish to sur
Stranded
Source Institutions
What's a more compelling problem to solve than being stranded on a deserted island?
Color Contrast
Source Institutions
Do you have a hard time matching paint swatches with your furniture? When you consider human perception, color is context dependent.
Ships Ahoy!
Source Institutions
Design a vessel that tests the limits of wind power given a set of off the shelf and recycled materials.
