Odors Aloft
Source Institutions
Learners smell balloons filled with different scents to guess what's inside. From this, they infer the presence and motion of scented molecules.
From Here to There
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.
Exploring Shadows
Source Institutions
This activity guide features three related explorations to help learners ages 3-6 investigate shadows via the following science concepts: A shadow is made when an object blocks the light; you can chan
Exploring Structures
Source Institutions
This event guide features three related explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: how you design and build a structure helps determine how strong it will be; different
Exploring Size: Scented Balloons
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.
Boats Afloat
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.
Sticky Snot
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create slime to model mucus and examine how it collects simulated particles. Mucus keeps particles from the environment out of our lungs when we breathe.
Exploring Ramps
Source Institutions
This guide features three related ramp explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: when placed on a ramp, some objects roll, others slide, and others stay put; the shape
Sink or Float?
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.
Drip Drop
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners explore how water drops behave on different surfaces.
Exploring Size: Scented Solutions
Source Institutions
This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).
Exploring Forces: Gravity
Source Institutions
In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.
