Seeing the World Through a Different Lens
Source Institutions
Learners participate in a variety of activities modeling different disabilities.
Rubber Band newton Scale
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a simple spring-like scale using a rubber band instead of a spring, and calibrate the scale in newtons (N).
Swirling Milk
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners prepare two petri dishes, one filled with water and one filled with milk.
Everyday Poisons
Source Institutions
This reading and writing activity (on pages 2-9) teaches what plant parts should be avoided, how a person can get rid of toxins, symptoms of plant poisoning, and how plants create poisons to repel pre
Ancient Sun Observations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.
Recycling Paper
Source Institutions
In this crafty chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make their own paper from used paper they may have otherwise thrown away.
Downhill Race
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how two cylinders that look the same may roll down a ramp at different rates.
Balloon Impacts
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners measure the diameter of their water balloons, model an impact, measure the diameter of the “crater” area, and determine the ratio of impactor to crater.
Beat the Clock: Sorting Networks
Source Institutions
Even fast computers are limited to how quickly they can solve problems. One way to speed things up is to use several computers at once.
Lager Lamp
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, adult learners create a lava lamp using beer and nuts! Use this pub-themed activity to demonstrate the effects of buoyancy and bubbles.
Make A Spinning Top
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design and build a toy top out of simple, everyday materials and have the option to use the toy as an artistic tool.
Moving On Up: Capillary Action II
Source Institutions
Learners explore capillary action in plants (such as plants ability to move water from roots to leaves) in an investigation called Paper Blooms.
All Mixed Up!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners separate a mixture of pebbles, salt crystals, and wood pieces. They add water and pour the mixture through a strainer.
Food Chains
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore the roles of different animals in the food chain. They will create their own food chain using organisms of their choice.
Blue Sky
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners explore why the sky is blue and the sunset is red, using a simple setup comprising a transparent plastic box, water, and powdered milk.
Shaking It!
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.
Benham's Disk
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners discover that when they rotate a special black and white pattern called a Benham's Disk, it produces the illusion of colored rings.
Sticky Situation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners separate the protein from milk and and use it to make their own glue.
