Float Your Boat
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.
Circle Logic
Source Institutions
This is a deceptively simple game to teach strategy, planning, and pattern analysis. In this game, learners take turns removing tokens from a board, and develop a plan to take the last piece.
Color Spy
Source Institutions
In this activity (16th on the page), learners play a variation of the "I Spy" game to explore color. Learners work in teams with each team assigned a color.
Taste Match Game
Source Institutions
In this activity (3rd activity on the page), learners taste test different foods and categorize them as sweet, bitter, sour, or salty. Learners compare their results with the group.
Touch Boards
Source Institutions
Use this activity (13th activity on the page) to introduce learners to the sense of touch. Learners collect objects of varying textures like feathers, rocks, sand, etc.
Symmetry Fold-Overs
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners experiment with the concept of symmetry.
Topographic Investigation: Map an Underwater Surface
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a map of a hidden surface using a "sounding stick" -- a technique similar to how underwater maps were once made.
Symmetry of Butterfly Wings
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate balance and symmetry by designing a symmetrical butterfly, using a paper cutout.
Magnetic Sensory Bottles
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will investigate magnetic and non-magnetic items in a sensory bottle.
Liquid Layers
Source Institutions
Experiment with liquids of different densities and create liquid layers. For example, oil and water have different densities: oil floats on water because it is less dense than water.
In Proportion
Source Institutions
Through this nutrition activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will understand—and probably be surprised by—how big serving sizes of various foods should be.
Bubble Wrap Printing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use bubble wrap to print patterns on paper and experiment with mixing colors.
Property Sort
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners will describe objects by their properties and sort by color, weight and texture. This activity uses household items and toys for materials.
Ant Super Strength
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners compare their own strength to ants through a series of physical tests.
Measuring with Flubber
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will measure and manipulate flubber using different tools. Learners will explore volume and make observations about texture and shapes.
Rainforest Plant or Animal?
Source Institutions
In this craft activity, learners will compare and contrast the major functions of plants and animals.
Friction Racing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the unseen force of friction and how surfaces can slow moving objects at different rates.
Outrageous Ooze: Is It a Liquid or a Solid?
Source Institutions
This activity provides instructions for using cornstarch and water to make an ooze which has the properties of both a solid and liquid.
COSI Quicksand
Source Institutions
In this chemistry experiment, learners get to make a very bizarre substance using corn starch and water. Is it a solid? Is it a liquid? Or is it a different kind of substance entirely?
Pom-Pom Probability
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners predict how many pom-poms they can toss inside a circle from three feet away. Use this activity to help learners explore probability.
