Building Tall
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity (page 2 of PDF), young learners investigate how a wide base can make a building more stable. Learners use blocks or boxes of different sizes to construct stable towers.
Exploring Fabrication: Self-Assembly
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.
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.
A Crayon Rock Cycle- Sedimentary
Source Institutions
This is part 1 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. In this activity, learners explore how sedimentary rocks form.
Exploring Earth: Paper Mountains
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore in what ways the shape of the land and the pull of gravity influence how water moves over Earth.
Oreo Phases
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners recreate the lunar phases using the frosting from Oreo® cookies and place the phases in order. Round cream cheese crackers can also be used if cookies are not an option.
Exploring the Universe: Star Formation
Source Institutions
In this activity, participants will learn how stars form from the dust and gas that exists in space clumping together.
Eclipse: How can the little Moon hide the giant Sun?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how distance can affect the way we perceive the size of an object.
Balloon Rockets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create a model rocket out of an inflated balloon attached to a straw on a taught string.
Beach Buckets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore a bucket of sand and beach objects.
Newspaper Bridges
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build bridges out of newspaper and tape to explore how structures are designed to bear loads.
