Jell-O Model of Microfluidics
Source Institutions
This activity uses Jell-O(R) to introduce learners to microfluidics, the flow of fluids through microscopic channels.
The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 3
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.
Programming Languages: Marching Orders
Source Institutions
In this activity about computer programming, learners follow instructions in a variety of ways in order to successfully draw figures.
Making Regolith
Source Institutions
This lesson will helps learners answer the question: How does the bombardment of micrometeoroids make regolith on the moon?
Treasure Hunt: Finite-State Automata
In this computer science activity about finite-state automaton (on page 45 of the PDF), learners use a map and choose various pathways to find Treasure Island.
Passion for Pixels
Source Institutions
In this technology activity, learners explore digital imaging and pixels. Learners "transmit" an image to a partner by creating an image on grid paper.
Getting There!: Navigation and Trajectory
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners map a navigation plan to get from Earth to Mars and back. In activity one, learners represent the orbital paths of Earth through dance and dramatic movement.
Sky Diver
Source Institutions
Students design and build their own parachutes in this hands-on engineering project.
Design a Park
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!
OBIS Oil Spill
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.
Urine the Know
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 5 of the PDF, learners compare water with artificial urine to see how urinalysis works. Learners use urinalysis test strips to test for glucose and protein in the fake urine.
Tracking Otters
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 38-43) has learners simulate the way scientists track and map the movement of otters in the wild using radio trackers.
Rover Races
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experience some of the challenges of "tele-operating" a robotic vehicle on another planet when they design and execute a series of commands to guide a human "rover" through
Challenge: Microgravity
Source Institutions
In this activity about the circulatory system and space travel (on page 38 of the PDF), learners use water balloons to simulate the effects of gravity and microgravity on fluid distribution in the bod
We Have Capture!
Source Institutions
Using simple materials, learners will construct the end effector (grasping device) of a robotic arm and use the device to capture and pick up an object.
Aerial Imagery
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Earthquakes) is a full inquiry investigation into aerial imagery.
Sustainable Grazing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.
