Plankton Feeding
Source Institutions
This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

Hanford at the Half-Life Radiation Calculator
Source Institutions
This quiz lets you estimate your annual radiation exposure.

Handheld Water Bottle Rocket & Launcher
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build handheld rockets and launchers out of PVC pipes and plastic bottles. Use this activity to demonstrate acceleration, air pressure, and Newton's Laws of Motion.

To Dye For
Source Institutions
Learners add two dyes to mineral oil and water, and then compare their miscibility (how well they mix) in each.

Measuring the Wind
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

Cook Up a Comet
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

Moldy Jell-O
Source Institutions
In this laboratory activity, learners design an experiment to evaluate how environmental factors influence the growth of molds.

Burning Questions About a Candle
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will observe a deceptively simple process: a burning candle.

Aviary Architect
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged to design, build and test a birdhouse that will stay cool in the sun.

Acids & Bases
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test the pH of safe liquids available at home by creating a pH indicator from mashed blueberries.

Inverted Foucault Pendulum
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners explore a variation of a Foucault pendulum, but upside down.

Anti-Gravity Chamber
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use magnets and household items to create a structure that allows paperclips to appear like they are floating.

Acid Rain
Source Institutions
In this chemistry demonstration, acid rain is simulated in a petri dish.

Enzyme Action
Source Institutions
In this activity that can be used as a lab or demonstration, learners use Lactaid® and lactose to demonstrate the concept of enzyme action.

Three Circles of Pigments
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners overlap the three primary colors to see how all other colors are made.

Color Contrast
Source Institutions
Do you have a hard time matching paint swatches with your furniture? When you consider human perception, color is context dependent.

Magnetic Shielding: Magnetic lines stop here
Source Institutions
Testing magnets is always a fun pastime, but here, we're going beyond "will it attract the magnet?" In this activity, learners will investigate which materials allow magnetic fields to pass through or

Egg Bungee
Source Institutions
Learners attach an egg to a rubber-band bungee cord and drop the egg.

Edible Glass
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover the principles of edible glass by making a supersaturated sugar solution.

Mighty Molecules
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use marshmallows and gum drops to construct seven models of molecules. Learners classify (solid, liquid or gas) and draw diagrams of the molecules.
