The Geophysical Light/Dark Cycle
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.
Public Key Encryption: Kid Krypto
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a simulation exercise related to public key encryption and try to intercept a message sent between two learners.
Glaciers
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners adjust mountain snowfall and temperature to see how glaciers grow and shrink. They will use scientific tools to measure thickness, velocity and glacial budget.
Synaptic Tag
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners review the parts of the synapse and their functions by playing a game.
Whose Fault Is It?
Source Institutions
In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.
Natural Selection in Protected and Unprotected Populations
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners model two elephant seal populations and how they change over time. Learners start with cards representing a variety of seals.
Salts & Solubility
Source Institutions
In this online interactive simulation, learners will add different salts to water and then watch the salts dissolve and achieve a dynamic equilibrium with solid precipitate.
Finding a Gene on the Chromosome Map
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use pedigree and jigsaw puzzles to explore how scientists use genetic information from a family to identify a gene associated with a genetic disorder.
My Solar System
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners build their own system of heavenly bodies and watch the gravitational ballet.
The Parachuting Egg
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.
Sound Representation: Modems Unplugged
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners listen to songs and decode hidden messages based on the same principle as a modem. As a final challenge, learners decode the binary messages in a music video.
The Best Dam Simulation Ever
Source Institutions
This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.
Bet the Farm
Source Institutions
This is an online game about the complexities of farming. Learners will "draw" cards and make decisions about how to take care of their farm.
pH Scale
Source Institutions
In this online interactive simulation, learners will test the pH of liquids like coffee, spit, and soap to determine whether each is acidic, basic, or neutral.
Masses & Springs
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners use a realistic mass and spring laboratory. They hang masses from springs and adjust the spring stiffness and damping.
Human Interface Design: The Chocolate Factory
Source Institutions
In this activity about human interface design issues, learners help the Oompa-Loompas of a great chocolate factory solve different problems.
The Carbon Cycle: How It Works
Source Institutions
In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another
Color Vision
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners make a whole rainbow by mixing red, green, and blue light. They can change the wavelength of a monochromatic beam or they can filter white light.
Neuron Chain Tag
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners play a game of Tag to discover how neurons attach themselves to each other to form a chain.
Evolution as Reproduction with Variability
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners discover how random variation influences biological evolution.
