Growing Cooties
Source Institutions
In this health activity (located on page 4 of the PDF), learners will discover the importance of hand washing by observing mold growing on potatoes.
How Plants Grow
Source Institutions
In this biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore how plants turn sunlight into food through a process called photosynthesis.
What Goes Up...
Source Institutions
In this activity about gravity (page eight of the pdf), learners will very simply explore how gravity affects objects using balls and toys.
Oh Boy Buoyancy
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will explore the concept of buoyancy, especially as it relates to density.
Vibrant Cords
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how the voice works and feel the vibrations produced by vocal cords.
Cover Your Mouth
Source Institutions
In this health activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will discover why covering their mouth and nose while sneezing is so important.
A Swell Activity with Beans
Source Institutions
In this combination chemistry and physics activity, learners explore water absorption in dried beans or peas and learn how this affects their physical properties.
Density Stacker
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will explore the property of density.
Light Combinations
Source Institutions
In this activity about magnetism (page 17 of the pdf), learners experiment with magnets, exploring the concept of diamagnetic materials by seeing how a grape reacts to a magnetic field.
Ramp Racers
Source Institutions
In this activity about friction and gravity (page seven of the pdf), learners use toy racing cars to explore how the two forces affect the motion of objects.
3-2-1 POP!
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.
Magnetic Pendulum
Source Institutions
In this activity about magnetism (page 15 of the PDF), learners will explore how opposite and similar magnetic poles affect a swinging (pendulum) magnet.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Robot
Source Institutions
This is an activity about robotics programming. Learners will discover how precise programmers have to be as they instruct a friend to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Limewater
Source Institutions
This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 6 of the PDF). Students make a limewater testing solution for carbon dioxide and explore the concepts of solubility and precipitates.
Paper Airplane Contest
Source Institutions
In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.
Catapult
Source Institutions
In this activity about transfer of energy, learners get to build their own catapult using nothing more than a plastic spoon and some tape.
Comparing Crystals
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about crystals by growing their very own.
Chemical Reactions in Your Mouth
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will see that chewing is more than just the crushing up of food; there is actually a chemical change going on at the same time.
In Proportion
Source Institutions
Through this nutrition activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will understand—and probably be surprised by—how big serving sizes of various foods should be.
COSI Quicksand
Source Institutions
In this chemistry experiment, learners get to make a very bizarre substance using corn starch and water. Is it a solid? Is it a liquid? Or is it a different kind of substance entirely?
