Lift Experiment
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners investigate how the size of a wing affects lift. Learners count the number of pennies an egg crate plane wing can hold until the plane will no longer fly.

Minibot
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a mini dancing robot. This engineering activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, switches, conductivity, and motors.

The Variety and Roles of Microbes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use sets of cards to assign microorganisms to different groups.

The Braille Alphabet
Source Institutions
In this activity (8th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners make their own set of Braille letters. Learners use glue to make raised dots on a Braille Alphabet Sheet.

The Senses of "Unknown Creatures"
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use earthworms as "unknown creatures" from the South American jungle to find out how animals use senses.

Outbreak!: Investigating Epidemics
Source Institutions
A group of learners simulates the spread of disease by trading slips of paper, one set of which has been treated with a baking soda solution.

Cardiac Hill
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity linking human health to the environment, learners use their pulse rates as a measure of the effort expended in walking on different slopes.

Coral, Carbon Dioxide and Calcification
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.

Exploring Shadows
Source Institutions
This activity guide features three related explorations to help learners ages 3-6 investigate shadows via the following science concepts: A shadow is made when an object blocks the light; you can chan

Cook Food Using the Sun
Source Institutions
Learners build a solar oven from a cardboard pizza box, aluminum foil and plastic. Learners can use their oven to cook S'mores or other food in the sun.

Giant Chromosomes: Fruit Fly DNA and You
Source Institutions
Many of the genetic sequences found in the fruit fly genome are similar to those found in humans.

Five-Layer Density Column
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners can create five-layer density columns by employing one of three (or all) methods.

Workin' It Out
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how to stay fit the fun way. Learners participate in three physical activities.

Cats and Canaries
Source Institutions
In this math puzzle game, learners work together to use algebraic reasoning and fun clues for solving word puzzles.

Robot Body Language
Source Institutions
In this robotics activity, learners find ways to express emotions and feelings using only body movements, not facial expressions.

Invent an Animal
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

Beginning Statistical Inquiries into the Scientific Method: Jelly-Side-Down
Source Institutions
This activity allows learners to explore the scientific method in an open-ended fashion, using the 4-P Approach to Science Inquiry developed by the University of Wisconsin, Beloit.

The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 3
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

Natural Selection in Protected and Unprotected Populations
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners model two elephant seal populations and how they change over time. Learners start with cards representing a variety of seals.

How Big is Small
Source Institutions
In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.
