Make An Impact
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners simulate the crashing and smashing of a meteor impact using household cooking supplies.
Sweetly Balanced Equations
Source Institutions
In this (edible) activity, learners balance chemical equations using different kinds and colors of candy that represent different atoms. Learners will work in pairs and explore conservation of atoms.
Natural Selection of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria
Source Institutions
In this activity (p.3-4 of PDF), learners learn about disease transmission and antibiotic resistance.
The Nose Knows!
