Investigating Starch
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 10-15), learners investigate starch in human diets and how plants make starch (carbohydrates) to use as their food source.
Law of Conservation of Mass
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners explore whether matter is created or destroyed during a chemical reaction. They will compare the weight of various solutions before and after they are mixed.
Got Seaweed?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine the properties of different seaweeds, investigate what happens when powdered seaweed (alginate) is added to water, and learn about food products made with seaweed.
Shoebox Dinosaur Dig Site
Source Institutions
In this activity, (on page 6 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs) learners participate in a hands-on fossil excavation.
Food for the Brain
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners dissect a piece of pizza to learn about nutrients important for health.
Blimp Jet Challenge
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners add a jet-propulsion system (i.e. a balloon) to a blimp so it flies straight and far under its own power.
Bubble Geometry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use geometry in observing the shapes and angles soap bubbles create when they join together.
Weathering and Erosion
Source Institutions
In this multi-station lab, learners conduct a series of experiments to explore the processes and effects of weathering and erosion.
Cool It
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.
Starch Breakdown
Source Institutions
Learners use Benedict’s solution and heat to test for the presence of simple sugars in glucose, sucrose, starch, and starch combined with amylase.
