Nano Ice Cream
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.
Sky Time: Kinesthetic Astronomy
Source Institutions
Through a series of simple body movements, learners gain insight into the relationship between time and astronomical motions of Earth (rotation about its axis, and orbit around the Sun), and also abou
Envirolopes
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.
Let's Make a Supernova!
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore what happens when a star explodes.
Why Does the Moon Have Phases?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.
The Great Plankton Race
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged to design a planktonic organism that will neither float like a cork nor sink like a stone.
Macromodel of Microarray
Source Institutions
This is an educator-led demonstration of microarray technology using a model created from a pizza box and ping-pong balls.
Clam Hooping
Source Institutions
In this two-part outdoor activity, learners conduct a population census of squirting clams on a beach or mudflat, and investigate the clams' natural history.
Cook Up a Comet
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.
It's all Done with Mirrors
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity illustrates the path of light as it reflects off of mirrors and how this is used in telescopes.
Does the Moon Rotate?
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.
Lotus Leaf Effect
Source Institutions
This is a demonstration about how nature inspires nanotechnology. It is easily adapted into a hands-on activity for an individual or groups.
Exploring Size: Scented Solutions
Source Institutions
This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).
Exploring Forces: Gravity
Source Institutions
In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.
A Hurricane's Storm Surge Affects our Estuaries
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a coastal landmass from sand and add features such as tidal creeks and barrier islands.
That's the Way the Ball Bounces: Level 3
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, volume, density, and bounce height.
