Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build models of atoms and molecules, then consider their role in different phases of matter, density, and mixtures and solutions.
Rutherford's Enlarged: A Content-Embedded Activity to Teach about Nature of Science
Source Institutions
This paper describes a working-model demonstration of Ernest Rutherford's 1911 experiment about the nature of atoms.
Exploring Materials: Graphene
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 4 of the PDF, explore the unique molecular structure and conductive nature of graphene. Learners construct a circuit with a battery and LED bulb.
Stick to It: Adhesion II
Source Institutions
Water sticks to all kinds of things in nature — flowers, leaves, spider webs - and doesn't stick to others, such as a duck's back.
