Penny Jar: Estimating for Charity
Source Institutions
Learners will collect pennies to donate and will combine charitable giving with estimating and calculating with money. To start choose a charity or something to save up for together.

¡Ciencia efervescente y espumosa!
Source Institutions
En esta actividad la tira cómica muestra a los participantes como pueden hacer un experimento simple para ver cuales líquidos son ácidos.

Constellation Scope
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners explore the basic shapes of constellations by making their own scope out of a cardboard tube and paper with pinpricks.

Angle Hunting
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a hand-made protractor to measure angles they find in playground equipment.

Atoms and Matter (K-2)
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.

Experimenting with Symmetry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use pattern blocks and mirrors to explore symmetry. Learners work in pairs and build mirror images of each other's designs.

Create a Compass
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple materials to build their own compass.
Magnetism
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the principles of magnetism by observing how various materials interact with magnets and superconductors.

Go with the Flow
Source Institutions
Learners draw comic-style pictures to show the water cycle. From a starting picture, one learner draws what happens to the water in the next panel, then passes the comic strip to another learner.

Slush Rush
Source Institutions
In this online game, learners run an outer space drink stand and thirsty alien customers are on the way.

Locating a Point
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in teams to simulate the process used by Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to determine the location of a fallen meteorite in Antarctica.

Light of the Moon
Source Institutions
Learners model the Sun-Earth-Moon system to show what causes the Moon's appearance to change when viewed from the Earth.

Rubberband Rollback
Source Institutions
In this activity about potential and kinetic energy, learners get to roll a can across the floor and then watch it roll back to them as if by magic. This activity is always great for looks of wonder!

Water Drop Exploration
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will explore how water moves on waxed paper. Learners will use science process skills such as using tools and making observations as they explore surface tension.

Nosedive
Source Institutions
This is a great activity for investigating the basics of lift and drag as they pertain to flight. Learners will discover how to avoid "taking a nosedive" by building their own paper airplane.

Gas Model
Source Institutions
This highly visual model demonstrates the atomic theory of matter which states that a gas is made up of tiny particles of atoms that are in constant motion, smashing into each other.

Water "Digs" It!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.

Marine Skulls Cart
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners look at and touch marine animal skulls to compare them and think about what they eat.

Nanoparticle Stained Glass
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo, learners are introduced to the connection between medieval stained glass artisans and nanotechnology.
Shady Snakes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make pretend snakes and use them to explore estimation and measurement. Learners roll out clay snakes and estimate and measure their lengths and diameters.
