It's Natural
Source Institutions
This activity introduces learners to Native Americans as people who depended upon nature in the past and continue to emphasize the importance of nature in the present.
Falling Faster
Source Institutions
In this activity about gravity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will come to understand how all objects will fall at the same rate, but that air will slow things down.
Where Does Life Live?
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 22-24 of the PDF), learners match extreme enviroments with life forms they support.
Calendarios para cualquier año
Source Institutions
Este Web site contiene links a 12 calendarios (12 meses). Cada mes contiene actividades sobre matemáticas.
Butterflies and Moths: Camouflage
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a camouflaged butterfly to hide outside for others to find.
Root Beer Float
Source Institutions
In this quick activity/demonstration about density, learners examine what happens when two cans of root beer--one diet and one regular--are placed in a large container of water.
Toad Toy
Source Institutions
In this activity, the learner will explore hand eye coordination while using a variation of the ball and cup game.
Ice Fishing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use string and salt to lift an ice cube out of a glass of water. Salt depresses the freezing point of water, allowing it to melt around the string and refreeze.
Spinning Blackboard
Source Institutions
Create beautiful spirals by drawing a straight line. This sounds crazy, but you can with a turntable (a record player or lazy susan), paper, and pen.
Exploring Size: Tiny Ruler
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate just how small a billionth of a meter is by attempting to cut a paper ruler down to a nanometer-sized sliver.
Morning Star and Evening Star
Source Institutions
This demonstration activity models how Venus appears from Earth.
Egg-Citing Physics
Source Institutions
In this demonstration about momentum, use physics to distinguish between a hard-boiled egg and a raw egg without cracking them open.
Amphibian Skin
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.
Make Your Own Sundial
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the Earth's rotation and how to tell the time of day without a clock. Thsi simple activity only requires a paper plate, a pencil, and sunshine.
Shape & Solid Exploration
Source Institutions
In this game, learners use clues to identify mystery shapes. Use everyday objects (like from the pantry) as the shapes.
Jump Like a Frog
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners jump and measure how far they can jump on different surfaces using different jumping techniques.
Build a Bell Bracelet
Source Institutions
Learners make bell bracelets, place them on their wrists or ankles, and then dance to the rhythms and sounds the bells make. Many cultures use ankle or wrist bells to make music during dancing.
One In The Hand
Source Institutions
In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to break a raw egg just by squeezing it. Learners will be shocked by their inability to complete the deceivingly simple challenge.
Shrinky Dinks
Source Institutions
Heat makes some materials expand, and it makes others shrink.
Reflections
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a game and use pattern blocks to explore mirror images and reflection.
