Solar Structures
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how the power of the sun can be harnessed to heat and cool a building.
Working with Wind Energy
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how wind energy can be generated on both a large and small scale.
Catapult
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct their own small catapults using simple materials. Learners follow visual instructions to build their launching device.
Marshmallow Catapult
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore physics by building a catapult that launches marshmallows with household objects.
Geothermal Power Plant Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a model of a power plant that uses steam. Learners use simple materials like foil, a tin can, and a pot of water to model a geothermal power plant.
Egg Bungee
Source Institutions
Learners attach an egg to a rubber-band bungee cord and drop the egg.
Rubber Band Racers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the design of rubber band powered cars. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own rubber band cars out of everyday items.
Working with Watermills
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how watermills have helped harness energy from water through the ages.
Nuclear Fusion
Source Institutions
This simple and engaging astronomy activity explains nuclear fusion and how radiation is generated by stars, using marshmallows as a model.
Supernova Star Maps
Source Institutions
This fun astronomy activity allows learners to experience finding stars in the night sky that will eventually go supernova. This activity is perfect for a star party outdoors.
Hot & Cold
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment with hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, yeast, and baking soda to produce hot and cold reactions. Use this activity to demonstrate exothermic and endothermic reactions.
Extra Bounce
Source Institutions
In this indoor or outdoor demonstration, use a large and small ball to illustrate conservation of energy and momentum.
Rubber Band Boat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build styrofoam boats powered by twisted rubber bands.
