Size, Mass, Area, and Volume
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity (page 23 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to determine how the size and mass of a projectile affects the area and the volume of an impact crater.
   
Everyday Poisons
Source Institutions
    
  This reading and writing activity (on pages 2-9) teaches what plant parts should be avoided, how a person can get rid of toxins, symptoms of plant poisoning, and how plants create poisons to repel pre
   
Magnetic Suction
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity about electricity and magnetism, learners discover how a doorbell works. A coil of wire with current flowing through it forms an electromagnet that acts similar to a bar magnet.
   
Runaway Runoff
Source Institutions
    
  When it rains, water can collect on top of and seep into the ground. Water can also run downhill, carrying soil and pollution with it.
   
Candy Chemistry
Source Institutions
    
  In this experiment, learners test multiple food items to see if they are an acid or base using an indicator solution created with red cabbage.
   
Habitable Worlds
Source Institutions
    
  In this group activity, learners consider environmental conditions—temperature, presence of water, atmosphere, sunlight, and chemical composition—on planets and moons in our solar system to determine 
   
Ewok Escape
Source Institutions
    
  The goal of this Star Wars activity is to design and build a balancing device to help an Ewok escape the Imperial Forces by sliding down a tightrope to safety.
   
Ancient Sun Observations
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.
   
Exploring Ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun
Source Institutions
    
  In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.
   
Overnight Painting Machine: Pico Cricket Activity
Source Institutions
    
  This activity requires a Pico Cricket (tiny computer).
   
Below the Surface: Surface Tension II
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity learners explore surface tension. Why are certain objects able to float on the surface of water and how do detergents break the surface tension of water?
   
Pop! Rocket Launcher
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.
   
Examining the Heart
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity about the heart (on page 22 of the PDF), learners examine sheep or chicken hearts to learn about the heart's structure and the flow of blood through the heart.
   
Salt Water Revival
Source Institutions
    
  In this outdoor activity, learners visit the intertidal zone of a rocky coastal site well populated with marine organisms.
   
Differing Densities: Fresh and Salt Water
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners visualize the differences in water density and relate this to the potential consequences of increased glacial melting.
   
Lager Lamp
Source Institutions
    
  In this demonstration, adult learners create a lava lamp using beer and nuts! Use this pub-themed activity to demonstrate the effects of buoyancy and bubbles.
   
Sawing Away
Source Institutions
    
  In this outdoor activity, learners saw sections from fallen trees, then count tree rings and look closely at patterns of tree growth.
   
The Orange Game: Routing and Deadlock in Networks
Source Institutions
    
  When a lot of people share one network (such as cars using roads, or messages getting through the Internet), there is the possibility that competing processes will create a “deadlock," or an interrupt
