Hot Air Balloon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.
Straws and Airplanes
Source Institutions
Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.
Make a DNA Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of DNA using paper and toothpicks. While constructing this model, learners will explore the composition and structure of DNA.
Design a Fish
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity), learners will study the adaptations different fish species have developed to survive in their habitats.
Bird Feeders
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a bird feeder or feeders to attract birds for observation.
Marshmallow Models
Source Institutions
No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.
Atomic Mobile
Source Institutions
Learners make a mobile model of a carbon atom using clay, wire, and pipe cleaners.
Solar System on a Stick
Source Institutions
Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.
Design and Build a Wind Vane
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design and build a simple wind vane —one of the oldest kinds of weather tools— and use it to show wind direction.
Crazy Camouflage
Source Institutions
In this activity about camouflage, learners create a model that shows how a flounder is able to blend into a variety of environments.
