Ping Pong Ball Shooter
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners use ABS pipe and an air leaf blower to make a strong shooting machine.
   
Home Molecular Genetics
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners extract DNA from their own cheek cells, then create a rudimentary DNA profile similar to those seen on crime scene dramas.
   
Tabletop Biosphere
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners create a sealed, mini ecosystem that supplies freshwater shrimp with food, oxygen, and waste processing for at least three months.
   
Model Wind Tunnel
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners build a miniature wind tunnel to measure force. Learners construct the model out of Lexan plastic, a fan, and a precise digital scale.
   
Origami Flying Disk
Source Institutions
    
  In this three-part activity, learners use paper to explore Bernoulli's Principle — fast-moving air has lower pressure than non-moving air.
   
Home Mycology Lab
Source Institutions
    
  Agriculturalists have long considered mushroom growing a challenge, largely because you need a piece of benchtop equipment known as a laminar flow hood.
   
Pages of a Forbidden Tome
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners use chemistry to produce weathered "antiqued" paper with burned edges. Learners first soak white paper in coffee and then apply a charring solution of ammonium chloride.
   
Harvesting Chemicals from a Battery
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners take apart a used zinc-carbon dry cell battery.
   
Instant Ice Cream with a Dry Ice Bath
Source Institutions
    
  In this chemistry meets cooking activity, learners make carbonated, vanilla ice cream using dry ice and denatured ethanol, which are both inexpensive and accessible.
