Rubber Band Boat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build styrofoam boats powered by twisted rubber bands.

Milk Plastic
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners transform everyday milk into small plastic figurines and jewelry. Use this activity to introduce learners to monomers and polymers.

Wintergreen
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.

In this activity, learners construct a simple electrolysis device. With this device, learners can decompose water into its elemental components: hydrogen and oxygen gas.

The Dead Zone: A Marine Horror Story
Source Institutions
In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien

Biotech in a Bag
Source Institutions
In a series of three experiments, learners explore the basics of biotechnology using self-locking plastic baggies. Each experiment demonstrates a phenomenon or principle of biotechnology.
Bag of Bones
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use cereal to conduct an experiment and investigate how decreased bone density is related to increased risk of bone fracture.

Stop: Practice Stopping at Vehicle Intersections
Source Institutions
This is an online game about stopping distance. Learners choose one of three vehicles and one of three speeds.

Gelatin Prism
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make prisms from gelatin. Learners then shine light through the prisms and discover what happens. This activity introduces learners to the idea of refraction.
