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.

Citizen Science at Home
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will be introduced to citizen science projects that can be done from home.

Tumble Wing Walkalong Glider
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will construct their own walkalong glider. They will explore how air, though invisible, surrounds and affects other objects.

Glow in the Dark Jello
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make homemade jello that glows under a blacklight. They will learn about quinine, an ingredient in tonic water that is fluorescent.

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.

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.

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.

Assemble the Human Heart
Source Institutions
In this online activity about anatomy, learners will drag and drop pieces of the heart into their proper positions and explore what function each part of the heart has.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Robot
Source Institutions
This is an activity about robotics programming. Learners will discover how precise programmers have to be as they instruct a friend to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Zoom: Travel to a Star and Back to Earth
Source Institutions
This is an online activity about what would happen if we could travel at or near the speed of light.

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.

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

Watercolor
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use chemistry to create a night sky watercolor painting. They will experiment to learn the effects of mixing crayon, salt, and lemon juice with water color paints.

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.

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.

Doppler Effect
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a tuning fork to explore how the Doppler effect works.

Make Your Own Barometer
Source Institutions
In this weather activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate the changes in atmospheric pressure by constructing their own barometer.

Planet Surfing
Source Institutions
In this astronomy activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will compare and contrast two planets in the solar system using data obtained from the internet.

Open Heart: Disease and Diagnosis
Source Institutions
In this online activity about heart disease, learners will pick one of three patients (based on actual patient histories) and help a cardiologist diagnose and prescribe treatments for him or her.
