Caution! Wildlife Crossing
Source Institutions
In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.
Finding the Right Crater
Source Institutions
This quick demonstration (on page 11 of PDF) allows learners to understand why scientists think water ice could remain frozen in always-dark craters at the poles of the Moon.
Rescue Mission
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.
Which Parachute
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.
Investigating Ice Worlds
Source Institutions
In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.
Ramp it Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.
Making a Simple Astrolabe
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make an astrolabe, a device used for measuring altitude, including the height of objects in the sky.
Weather Vane
Source Institutions
In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.
The Effects of Acid Rain
Source Institutions
In this environmental science activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners use vinegar and chalk to observe the effect of acid rain on various building materials and plant life.
Windmills
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 8-9 of the PDF), learners will explore wind energy. They will build their own windmill and see how energy from wind can be converted into a useable form.
Shaking It!
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.
Survivors! The People of the Arctic
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use maps to locate the Arctic region and use a word game to discover the types of resource people need to survive in the extreme climate.
