Skin Deep
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how to protect their skin while applying pesticides to plants.
Hot and Cold
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners discover that many chemical reactions involve heat loss or gain.
Waterless Snow Globe
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will investigate static electricity as they create waterless snow globes.
Magical Möbius
Source Institutions
In this tabletop activity (on pages 32-40), learners make Möbius strips -- 3D surfaces with only one side.
Fish Features and Habitats
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe live fish in tanks to consider how their body structures are related to their behaviors and habitats.
Forms of Carbon
Source Institutions
In this activity, educators can demonstrate how the nanoscale arrangement of atoms dramatically impacts a material’s macroscale behavior.
DNA Nanotechnology
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a nanoscale structure that occurs in nature.
Washing Air
Learners observe and discuss a simple model of a wet scrubber, a device for cleaning industrial air pollution.
Sand Activity
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe mixtures of sand samples glued to note cards, and consider how sand can differ in size, shape, and color, and where it comes from.
Pollinator Play
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build a bee hotel for pollinators. Learners will explore building and ecology through this activity.
Changing Colors
Source Institutions
In this challenge, learners have to figure out in what order to combine five solutions to change the color from clear, to yellow, to blue, and back to clear.
Vocal Visualizer
Source Institutions
With a bit of PVC, a laser, a can/cup, and a small mirror, you can make a device that visualizes you voice or any sound transmitted into the cup/can.
Fruit Juice Mystery
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners work to figure out which of four juices are real, and which is just food coloring and sugar.
Got Seaweed?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine the properties of different seaweeds, investigate what happens when powdered seaweed (alginate) is added to water, and learn about food products made with seaweed.
Good Vibrations
Source Institutions
This lesson (on pages 15-24 of PDF) explores how sound is caused by vibrating objects. It explains that we hear by feeling vibrations passing through the air.
Chromosome Models: Karyotyping
Source Institutions
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can have a tactile opportunity to construct a karyotype, an organized model of an organism’s chromosomes, conveying the chromos
Starch Breakdown
Source Institutions
Learners use Benedict’s solution and heat to test for the presence of simple sugars in glucose, sucrose, starch, and starch combined with amylase.
