Edible Model of the Sun
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make "solar cookies," edible models of the Sun's outer layers using sugar cookies and toppings.
Engineer an Octopus Suction Pad
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners build an octopus-inspired suction pad that can grab an object and hold it tightly in the air.
Engineer an Aeolipile
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners build an air-powered spinning machine.
Thirsty Candle
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore the dynamics of air pressure by using a candle, a cup, and a dish of water.
Modeling the Night Sky
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners explore the Earth and Sun's positions in relation to the constellations of the ecliptic with a small model.
Roller Coasters
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.
Control a Bird’s Flight
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.
Make A Map for A Treasure Hunt
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.
Family Fort Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore engineering concepts to construct a blanket fort using materials sourced from home.
The Watershed Connection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners interact with a 3-D model of a watershed to better understand the interconnectedness of terrestrial and aquatic environments.
Lub Dub: Make a Heart Valve
Source Institutions
Learners will construct a model of a heart valve using a film canister, a piece of masking tape, and a piece of paper.
Straw Rockets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create unique rockets. Each rocket will be powered by air as the learner will blow into a straw and watch their rocket fly.
