Trail Construction
Source Institutions
In this highly physical outdoor activity, learners construct and compare experimental trail sections to select the best trail-construction technique for their site.

Keep a "SLOG" (Sleep Log)
Source Institutions
In this activity (1st on the page), learners keep a "SLOG" or Sleep Log to study their sleep patterns.

Make a Model of a Home Made From Shipping Containers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.

Balloon Kebabs
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure by attempting to make "balloon kebabs." Learners will try to insert a wooden skewer all the way through an inflated balloon

Off Base
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the factors that tend to resist changes in pH of the ocean and why the ocean is becoming more acidic.

Biomimicry: Synthetic Gecko Tape Through Nanomolding
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo, learners examine a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics the behavior of the gecko foot.

Lager Lamp
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, adult learners create a lava lamp using beer and nuts! Use this pub-themed activity to demonstrate the effects of buoyancy and bubbles.

Stabilization Wedges Game
Source Institutions
This game introduces learners to the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and prevent climate change.

Combustion
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners discover that the weight of the product of combustion is greater than that of the starting material.

Guess My Rule
Source Institutions
In this simple game, learners start to understand how to sort and categorize objects by trying to guess the connection between three items that someone else has chosen.

The Power of Graphene
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.

Heat Capacity: Can't Take the Heat?
Source Institutions
Why is ocean water sometimes the warmest when the average daily air temperature starts to drop? In this activity, learners explore the differing heat capacities of water and air using real data.

Make Your Own Petroglyph
Source Institutions
In ancient Chaco Canyon, the people used a "sun dagger" petroglyph to mark the passing of seasons.

Fossil Rocks
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will discover how fossils are dug out of the earth by carefully exposing treasures hidden in an artificial rock that is easily made at home.

Total Internal Reflection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a laser pointer, empty soda bottle, rubber plug and water to demonstrate total internal reflection.

Eclipse: How can the little Moon hide the giant Sun?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how distance can affect the way we perceive the size of an object.

Gas Producing Micro-Reaction
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners use common chemicals and metals to examine reactions that produce gaseous substances.

Balancing Act
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will build a class 1 lever and hypothesize and test the distances two objects need to be placed from the fulcrum in order to balance.

Acid Rain Eats Stone!
Source Institutions
This display shows the dangers of acid rain on buildings and other structures as two concrete bunny rabbits are disintegrated by sulfuric acid. Learners scrape chalk onto the concrete bunnies.

Squidgy Slime
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners transform two ingredients (4% polyvinyl alcohol solution and 4% borax solution) into gooey slime.
