The Pulse of Gravity
Source Institutions
In this astronomy activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will examine the effects of gravity on a person’s pulse and explore how gravity can differ from planet to planet.

Build an Electromagnet
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build a simple electromagnet. They will test variables that would make the electromagnet stronger.

Candy Dish Natural Selection
Source Institutions
In this yummy biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners participate in a demonstration of natural selection.

Secret Message
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore acid and bases as they create their own invisible ink out of baking soda and grape juice.

3-2-1 POP!
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

Motion Madness: Choose the Winner
Source Institutions
This is an online game that explores speed, range and momentum. Learners will pick the winners in a 16-team tournament in 3 events: Tug-o-war, sprint, and marathon.

Bottle "Tops"
Source Institutions
In this physics activity about rotational inertia, learners use a spinning top made out of a bottle cap and a nail to explore how changing the axis of rotation affects how the energy is used.

Earthquake Energy
Source Institutions
In this geology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners simulate an earthquake with little more than an elastic band and drinking straws.

Applying Math to Astronomy
Source Institutions
In this mathematics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore the relationship between the diameter and circumference of an object.

Hover Cup
Source Institutions
Is this activity concentrating on physical science, learners build their very own miniature hovercraft out of a paper cup. Using it, they can explore the concepts of friction and force.

Weightless Water
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will witness the effects of free fall by observing falling water, and will gain a better understanding of the concept of weightlessness.

Open Heart: Virtual Bypass Surgery
Source Institutions
In this online activity about heart disease, learners will, with the virtual help of an actual surgeon, watch a virtual bypass surgery.

Multifactorial Inheritance
Source Institutions
In this biology activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners roll a die to create a simple model that teaches them about the factors contributing to heart disease.

Crystal Gardens
Source Institutions
In this activity, which requires adult supervision, learners get to explore the awesome power of chemistry.

Build a Rocket - and a Launch Pad!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a rocket powered by the pressure generated from an effervescing antacid tablet reacting with water, and build a launch pad for their rocket.

Balancing Act
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will build a class 1 lever and hypothesize and test the distances two objects need to be placed from the fulcrum in order to balance.

3 Classes of Levers
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will move a load using a lever of each of the 3 classes. They will explore the differences between these classes and which are more effective.

Balancing Act
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore their center of gravity.

Float Your Boat
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

How do we name things?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will learn a bit about botany as the explore botanical names and common names of plants.
