Model Well
Source Institutions
In this quick activity about pollutants and groundwater (page 2 of PDF under Water Clean-up Activity), learners build a model well with a toilet paper tube.
Tip Topper
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners role-play as wait staff at the Kidtropolis Diner. It's the end of the night and it's time for the staff to collect their tips.
Jitterbugs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct bug models that "jitter" all over the table with just a battery, motor, and counterweight.
Pupil to Pupil
Source Institutions
In this quick and simple activity about reflexes (at the top of the webpage), learners conduct a simple test to explore pupillary response.
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.
Sock It To Me!
Source Institutions
In this activity (7th activity on the page), learners use their sense of touch to identify mystery objects hidden in socks.
Turning the Air Upside Down: Spinning Snakes
Learners color and cut out a spiral-shaped snake. When they hang their snake over a radiator, the snake spins.
Making Circuits
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore electricity and conductivity to find that many things conduct electricity including copper, pencil lead, fruit, play-doh, and even people!
Keeps on Pumpin': Your Heart
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the great pump in their chests--the human heart!
Cabbage Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners make an acid-base indicator using cabbage. Learners then explore how various subtances react with this indicator.
Minibot
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a mini dancing robot. This engineering activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, switches, conductivity, and motors.
Convection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model atmospheric convection currents using food coloring, water, and clear cups. Activity includes step-by-step instructions, STEM connections, and more.
Keep it Cool
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers have met the challenge of keeping foods, liquids, and other items cool.
Waterproof that Roof!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers have improved roofing designs and materials in order to protect the contents of buildings.
Animal Math Posters
Source Institutions
These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How fast can a cheetah run? or How long can a giant tortoise live? Post these around the room or leave them out for children to explore.
Plants Count
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners put on their naturalist hats and explore the world around them.
No-Slip Grip
Source Institutions
In this physical sciences activity, learners explore friction. Learners investigate the factors that affect the force required to move an object.
Pocket Protractor
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create angle-measuring devices--protractors--out of paper. Learners follow a series of steps to fold a square sheet of paper into a triangular Pocket Protractor.
Cohesion Coin
Source Institutions
In this activity about the property of water (page 6 of the PDF), learners use a coin to demonstrate cohesion between water molecules, exploring the molecular forces that allow water molecules to "
