Matter on the Move
Source Institutions
Learners observe and conduct experiments demonstrating the different properties of hot and cold materials.
Changing the Density of an Object: Changing Shape
Source Institutions
Learners will see that changing the shape of an object, like a clay ball, that is more dense than water, can affect whether the object will sink or float.
Evaporation
Source Institutions
This three-part activity consists of an activity that groups of learners develop themselves, a given procedure, and an optional demonstration.
Pollution and Lung Health
Source Institutions
Learners will build a lung model to understand how their lungs and diaphragm work to make them breathe.
Ruminating on the Digestive System
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will review the functions of basic digestive organs, understand how diet affects digestion, understand how digestive tracks may differ, and then step outside to compare the
Balloon in a Flask

Learners observe a flask with a balloon attached over the mouth and inverted inside the flask.
How Do Things Fall?
Learners engage in close observation of falling objects. They determine it is the amount of air resistance, not the weight of an object, which determines how quickly an object falls.
Moving Without Wheels
In a class demonstration, learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport.
Silver Crystals
Source Institutions
This is written as a static display, but can easily become a hands-on experiment for learners.
Slide Projector Activities
Source Institutions
This resource contains several mini-explorations using a slide projector as a light source to investigate light and the properties of images.
Strange Attractor: Observe Chaotic Motion
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners can observe chaotic motion. A magnet tied to a piece of string makes a pendulum, which swings over three sets of fixed magnets.
