A Walk Through the Gut
Source Institutions
This simulation helps learners understand what happens to food as it passes through the digestive system.

Laser Jello
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use gelatin as a lens to investigate the properties of laser light.

Scientific Measurement Exercise
Source Institutions
Learners measure irregularly shaped bones using a variety of measurement methods and tools. Then, they measure again using standard conventions and metric tape measures.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Constellations
Source Institutions
This chocolate chip cookie recipe includes templates for baking night sky constellations of the season right on top! Two templates are included, one for 9pm mid-April, and one for 10pm mid-July.

Engineering Ups and Downs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the engineering and principles behind working elevators.

Yeast DNA Extraction
Source Institutions
This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from yeast using simple materials.

Cabbage Juice Indicator
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners make indicator solution from red cabbage. Then, learners test everyday foods and household substances using the cabbage juice indicator.

Hot & Cold
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment with hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, yeast, and baking soda to produce hot and cold reactions. Use this activity to demonstrate exothermic and endothermic reactions.

A Crayon Rock Cycle- Sedimentary
Source Institutions
This is part 1 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. In this activity, learners explore how sedimentary rocks form.

Damsels and Dragons
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners conduct experiments to explore where dragonflies and damselflies perch or rest, and how the flies change behavior in reaction to other flies or fly decoys

Automotive Emissions and the Greenhouse Effect
Source Institutions
In this activity about global climate change, learners will conduct an experiment and collect data to compare the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in four different sources of gases.

Electric Cup Guitar
Source Institutions
Make a one-string "guitar" by stringing a cup with some fishing line. You amplify the plucking of the string by placing a piezo contact microphone and mini battery powered amplifier inside the cup.

Space Jell-O
Source Institutions
Albert Einstein proved that space bends around anything that has mass. This activity uses Jell-O's ability to bend around objects as a model for space bending around planets and stars.

Give or Take?
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.

Cardboard Automata
Source Institutions
Cardboard Automata are a playful way to explore simple machine elements while creating a mechanical sculpture.

Cool It
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.

Window Under Water
Source Institutions
Glare from the sun and ripples from the wind can make it hard to see what's below the surface of a body of water.

Mystery Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners describe an object they can’t see. After someone picks outs a few mystery objects and places them in a pillowcase, learners will investigate using only their hands.

Ice Roads: Steiner Trees
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners use pegs (like tent pegs) and string or elastic to simulate drill sites and roads in Northern Canada.

Propeller-Powered Car
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct cars that are powered by hand-made, electric propellers.
