Circuit Game
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a game that tests their steadiness. Learners construct the game board by setting up an electrical circuit and a wand.
Pinball Wizard
Source Institutions
In this hands-on engineering project, kids use two simple machines, levers and inclined planes, to construct their own pinball machines.
Whose Fault Is It?
Source Institutions
In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.
Light Quest
Source Institutions
Learners test their "light-smarts" by playing a game called "Light Quest!" The game board represents an atom and each player represents an electron that has been bumped into the atom's outer unstable
You Can't Take It With You
Source Institutions
This activity models the necessary balance of creating power and cleaning up its associated waste. Learners participate in a game where they attempt to move forward toward a goal.
Building Bingo
Source Institutions
In this on site "field trip" activity (located on pages 6-9 of PDF), learners get hands-on experience identifying building materials by playing "Building Bingo".
Reflections
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a game and use pattern blocks to explore mirror images and reflection.
Power Play
Source Institutions
In this online game, learners build complicated machines to complete simple tasks. The game starts with a power source on one side of the screen and the task on the other side.
What's in the Bag?
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners use their sense of touch rather than sight to identify a mystery object in a bag. Learners take turns acting as "peekers" and "sensers" throughout the game.
Electric Gamebox Challenge
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners invent a pinball-like game where a kick stick hits a ping pong ball into a target that buzzes.
Power Up!
Source Institutions
In this online game, learners must purchase power plants for their city.
Block Bowling
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will build structures out of blocks and then roll balls to try to knock them down.
Stem Cell Differentiation Game
Source Institutions
This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.
Ramp it Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.
The Carbon Cycle Game
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.
The Carbon Cycle: How It Works
Source Institutions
In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another
Help Wanted
Source Institutions
In this interactive board game, learners "hire" different types of scientists to help canine character Ruff Ruffman solve unusual problems.
Mechanical Madness
Source Institutions
In this online Flash game, learners test their engineering know-how, moving a collection of mechanical parts onto a board to make complete a system of parts that will move a ball from start to finish.
The Carbon Cycle: Carbon Tracker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play NOAA's Carbon Tracker game and discover ways to keep track of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the world.
Tug-of-War
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War) is a full inquiry investigation into tug-of-war physics. Groups of learners will test two tug-of-war strategies.
