Altered Reality
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that the human brain is highly adaptable. Learners try to toss beanbags at a target while wearing prism goggles.
Exploring the Ocean with Robots
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are introduced to robotic submarines called gliders. Learners make “gliders” from plastic syringes and compare these to Cartesian bottles and plastic bubbles.
Neural Network Signals
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.
Don't Stop for Hitchhikers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners role-play the part of lake inhabitants and the aquatic exotics who displace the native species.
Mass, Area, Volume
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 18 of PDF), learners will measure the volume of impact craters created by projectiles of different masses.
Super Sleuths
Source Institutions
In this physical sciences activity, learners use science to solve a "crime." Learners collect trace evidence (glitter) and explore its characteristics, such as color, size, shape, and light reflection
Mini Tree House Build
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged to design and build a miniature tree house in a potted plant. This activity uses engineering concepts to encourage creativity.
Examining the Heart
Source Institutions
In this activity about the heart (on page 22 of the PDF), learners examine sheep or chicken hearts to learn about the heart's structure and the flow of blood through the heart.
Shapes and Angles
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 7 of PDF), learners will identify the general two-dimensional geometric shape of the uppermost cross section of an impact crater.
Clippy Island: An Investigation into Natural Selection
Source Institutions
In this activity, leaners will observe the process of natural selection on a population of birds called 'Springbeaks' over four seasons of breeding on an isolated environment called 'Clippy Island.' L
Hopper Herding
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and game, learners roundup a "herd" of hopping insects and find out how many different kinds or species are in their herd.
Size, Mass, Area, and Volume
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 23 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to determine how the size and mass of a projectile affects the area and the volume of an impact crater.
Sawing Away
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners saw sections from fallen trees, then count tree rings and look closely at patterns of tree growth.
Biotechnology Through Time
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the history and development of agricultural biotechnology.
