Our Sense of Sight: Color Vision
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.
Conductivity Meter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a simple qualitative conductivity tester with a battery, bulb and foil.
Clean Water: Is It Drinkable?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate nature's water filtration system by devising a system that will filter out both visible and invisible pollutants from water.
Playing with Parachutes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.
Super Gelatin
Source Institutions
Can gelatin (like Jell-O ®) change the speed of light?
Our Sense of Touch: Two-Point Discrimination
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the touch sensory system and discover how to plan and carry out their own experiments.
Rubber Band Racers

Not Just A Bag Of Beans
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.
Survival of the Fittest: Battling Beetles
Source Institutions
This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection through data collection and pattern recognition.
Bag of Bones
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use cereal to conduct an experiment and investigate how decreased bone density is related to increased risk of bone fracture.
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.
