Can Crushers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct an experiment by heating an aluminum can filled with water to investigate air pressure.
Urine the Know
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 5 of the PDF, learners compare water with artificial urine to see how urinalysis works. Learners use urinalysis test strips to test for glucose and protein in the fake urine.
Color Vision
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners make a whole rainbow by mixing red, green, and blue light. They can change the wavelength of a monochromatic beam or they can filter white light.
Neuron Chain Tag
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners play a game of Tag to discover how neurons attach themselves to each other to form a chain.
Mechanical Madness
Source Institutions
In this online Flash game, learners test their engineering know-how, moving a collection of mechanical parts onto a board to make complete a system of parts that will move a ball from start to finish.
Nuclear Fusion
Source Institutions
This simple and engaging astronomy activity explains nuclear fusion and how radiation is generated by stars, using marshmallows as a model.
Glitter Slime
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 8 of the PDF, learners make a slimy substance very similar to mucus, and sprinkle it with glitter to imitate the way that allergens are trapped.
Ocean in a Bottle
Source Institutions
In this simulation activity, learners observe what can happen when ocean waves churn up water and oil from an oil spill.
Cave in a Cup
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity), learners will model how caves are formed by placing one piece of chalk in a cup of vinegar and another piece in a cup of water, then
Stream Table
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use aluminum trays and wooden blocks to form stream tables to investigate river formations in two different landscape scenarios.
Partners in Pollination
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners identify the reproductive parts of plants and the animal (bee) structures involved in pollination.
Make An Impact
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners simulate the crashing and smashing of a meteor impact using household cooking supplies.
Estimation
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners will explore size estimation in one, two and three dimensions. Multiple levels of difficulty allow for progressive skill improvement.
Sweetly Balanced Equations
Source Institutions
In this (edible) activity, learners balance chemical equations using different kinds and colors of candy that represent different atoms. Learners will work in pairs and explore conservation of atoms.
The Muddy City: Minimal Spanning Trees
Source Institutions
In this puzzle, learners investigate the decisions involved in linking a network between houses in a muddy city.
Building Molecules
Source Institutions
This online interactive has three activities in the NanoLab (press the upper right button): Build, Zoom, and Transform.
The Nose Knows!
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 9 of the PDF, learners test how flavoring extracts move through the walls of a balloon.
How Do We Find Planets Around Other Stars?
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity describes techniques scientists use to find planets orbiting other stars.
Find the Best Way to Clean Oil off Bird Feathers
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners examine the way oil affects bird feathers and test different cleanup methods to find out which works best.
Mission: Control!
Source Institutions
In this activity and game, learners will train to improve balance and spatial awareness by performing throwing and catching techniques on one foot.
