Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a kind of balance device using a wire coat hanger, some string, and paper cups.

Smell Match
Source Institutions
In this matching activity (3rd activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to match pairs of opaque containers filled with various smelly items like orange peel, roses, or moth balls.

Sugar/Salt Crystals
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 1 of the PDF), learners will observe a physical change.

Safer with Science-Masks
Source Institutions
Why should we wear masks? Do masks work? Do some masks work better than others? Learners find out in this activity.

Protect That BRAIN!: Mr. Egghead
Source Institutions
This activity demonstrates the importance of wearing a helmet to protect the brain. An egg is used to symbolize a head with the shell as the skull and the inside of the egg as the brain.
