Finger Reading
Source Institutions
In this activity (10th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners make Braille letters out of cork or cardboard and map pins.

The Model Neuron
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a model of a neuron by using colored clay or play dough. Learners use diagrams to build the model and then label the parts on a piece of paper.

Chemical Breath
Source Institutions
This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 7 of the PDF). Learners see firsthand how chemicals in a solution can combine to form an entirely different substance.

Pulse of Life: Measure Your Pulse
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners take their own pulse and explore how heart rate is affected by various activities.

Eggshell Inertia
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 14 of the PDF), learners gain a better understanding of how friction and mass affect objects by comparing the rotational inertia of raw and hard-boiled eggs.

See the Colors in Leaves
Source Institutions
Learners use chromatography to separate and analyze the mixture of pigments in leaves. Use this activity to discuss photosynthesis as well as why leaves change color in autumn.

Jump Start
Source Institutions
In this movement and measurement activity, learners jump as far as they can three times, and compare their longest jump to the longest jump of their friends, classmates and/or family members.

Ocean Currents
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.

Tangram Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use tangrams ( 7-piece puzzle tiles) to assemble a variety of shapes. Tangrams are ideal for improving spatial reasoning and geometry properties.

Spicy Indicator: Use turmeric to test for bases in your home
Source Institutions
This activity uses turmeric, a common spice in curry, as an indicator for acidity and basicity. Turmeric is yellow in acid and neutral substances, but turns bright red with bases.

Just a Minute
Source Institutions
How much can you do in one minute? In this activity, learners estimate how many times a partner can complete a task (like writing their name or jumping jacks) in one minute.

Self-Assembly Game
Source Institutions
This is a quick game about self-assembly (page 2 of PDF under Self-Assembly Activity). Like the molecules of DNA, learners will self-assemble into a pattern by following a simple set of rules.

Exploring Black Holes and Gravity
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners imagine what would happen if our Sun were replaced with a black hole.

Model Well
Source Institutions
In this quick activity about pollutants and groundwater (page 2 of PDF under Water Clean-up Activity), learners build a model well with a toilet paper tube.
Toothpick Patterns
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners make toothpick designs by following simple patterns.
Tip Topper
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners role-play as wait staff at the Kidtropolis Diner. It's the end of the night and it's time for the staff to collect their tips.

Hot Spoons
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of thermal conductivity and learn the differences between high and low thermal conductivity.

An Object in Motion
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page nine of the pdf), learners use balloons to explore how a rocket works. It is suggested they also work to see how they can alter the velocity of the rocket.

Peripheral Vision
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore peripheral vision. Learners collect data about their ability to see shapes, colors, or letters using their peripheral vision.

Moving Molecules!
Source Institutions
In this activity about molecular diffusion (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity), learners will make predictions and move molecules of iodine through a seemingly solid plastic sandw
