From the Internet to Outer Space
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.

Skin, Scales and Skulls
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine body parts (including skin, scales, and skulls) from fish, mammals and reptiles. Questions are provided to help encourage learner investigations.
Measuring Rules
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners create their own units of measurement by making noodle rulers. Learners practice estimating and measuring objects using the noodle rulers .

Art with Salt and Ice
Source Institutions
This open-ended art project allows learners to create their own colorful ice sculpture by using rock salt and food coloring on a solid block of ice.

Which Powder is It?
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners identify an unknown white powder by comparing it with common household powders.

Plant Power
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners identify which plants have the enzyme "catalase" that breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

Exploring How Liquids Behave
Source Institutions
Learners apply their knowledge from a previous study to identify different liquids--water, corn syrup, and vegetable oil.

Hot and Cold
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners discover that many chemical reactions involve heat loss or gain.

The Liquid Rainbow
Source Institutions
Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

Gummy Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

Exploring Liquids
Source Institutions
Young learners investigate and observe the properties of three liquids -- water, vegetable oil, and corn syrup. They use their senses to collect data and ask and answer questions.

Pre-School Ball Run!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use cardboard bases and track tubes to make a ball run to explore the properties of mass, force, and motion.
Magic Wand Creations
Source Institutions
This is an activity in which learners create magic wands from a variety of materials making their choices by considering what kind of magic they want to make.

From Here to There
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

Source Institutions
In this activity, learners capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

Polymers are Chains (K-2)
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a paper model of a polymer, then make Silly Putty, an actual polymer.
Five Second Dash
Source Institutions
This is an activity about prediction. How far can you hop in 5 seconds? Could you make it to the door? Across the room? Everyone lines up and tries it.

What Can You Make of It?
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 2 of PDF), learners explore alternative uses of a simple paper cup, dubbed a "mystery item." Learners act as detectives and explore the properties and functions of th

Fish Features and Habitats
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe live fish in tanks to consider how their body structures are related to their behaviors and habitats.

Floating Dry Erase Creations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create a drawing with dry erase markers and watch it come to life. Learners will explore chemistry, art and storytelling through this activity.
