Space Stations: Sponge Spool Spine
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).
Single Serving Volcanism
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners eat a snack and make a model of the plumbing system of a volcano.
Exploring the Nanoworld with LEGO Bricks: Structures at the Nanoscale
Source Institutions
In this activity (pages 7-16), learners model various crystal structures with LEGOs. This activity also contains additional links that explain how to create other crystal structures.
Human-powered Orrery
Source Institutions
In this space science activity, learners work together to create a human-powered orrery to model the movements of the four inner planets.
Why Does the Moon Have Phases?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.
Cook Up a Comet
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.
Wetland Filter Model
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS Wetlands Activity), learners will model how wetlands act as natural filters for the environment.
Roller Coasters
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.
Echo Base Bobsleds
Source Institutions
The goal of this activity is to build a miniature bobsled that is either the fastest or the slowest. Learners use recycled materials to design, build, and test their bobsled on a bobsled track.
Does the Moon Rotate?
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.
Stomp Rockets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build a stomp-powered launcher to blast off paper rockets they design. Materials can be found at a local hardware store or you may already have them at home.
Balloon Bugs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make balloon models of disease-causing bacteria.
