Exploring Materials: Graphene
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.

Two-String Yo-Yo
Source Institutions
Learners build a yo-yo using a piece of wood, PVC pipe, and string. In doing so, learners explore the force of gravity and angular momentum.

Trail Impact Study
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

Invisible Investigations
Source Institutions
Using indirect observational methods, learners distinguish between charged and uncharged objects.

Follow the Scent
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, sensory activity, learners role play as animals trying to identify their "family's" scent and locate their "territory." Learners mark their territories and sniff out other territories

Microarrays and Stem Cells
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use microarray technology to determine which genes are turned on and off at various points in the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells on their way to becoming pancreat

How Active Are You?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore what is and is not active play and how it contributes to a healthy body and mind. Making active play a routine part of every day is a key concept of the experience.

Paleontologists: Can You Dig It?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the work of paleontologists.

Probability: Rock Around The Clock
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners apply the Monte Carlo method of simulation to determine a reasonable estimate.

Drip, Drop, Drip, Drop
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners design an experiment to model a leaky faucet and determine the amount of water wasted due to the leak.

Statistics: Button, Button
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners read "The Button Box" by Margarette S. Reid and then make their own button boxes filled with different buttons.

Challenge: Microgravity
Source Institutions
In this activity about the circulatory system and space travel (on page 38 of the PDF), learners use water balloons to simulate the effects of gravity and microgravity on fluid distribution in the bod

Give or Take?
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.

Below the Surface: Surface Tension II
Source Institutions
In this activity learners explore surface tension. Why are certain objects able to float on the surface of water and how do detergents break the surface tension of water?

Build a Band
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a four-stringed instrument that can play a tune.

Stomp Rocket
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build rockets and shoot them into the air by stomping on the plastic bottle launchers.

The Heart as a Pump
Source Institutions
Learners will build a homemade pump using a balloon, a mason jar, and some straws.

Life in the Sidewalk Cracks
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners compare plant and animal life in different habitats including a sidewalk crack and lawn. Learners sort human-made materials and natural materials found in each habitat.

Forward-Reverse Switch
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a switch to turn electrical circuits on and off.

Let's Look at Water & the Scientific Method
Source Institutions
This activity has learners observe water and compare it to other liquids.
