Going for a Spin: Making a Model Steam Turbine
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.
Deep Sea Diver
Source Institutions
In this ocean engineering activity, learners explore buoyancy and water displacement. Then, learners design models of deep sea divers that are neutrally buoyant.
Wonderful Weather
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.
Tiny Geyser Models
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 2), learners will construct tiny model geysers out of film canisters, warm water, and antacid seltzer tablets.
Chocolate (Sea Floor) Lava
Source Institutions
In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.
Earth Atmosphere Composition
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.
Atmosphere Composition Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.
Walk On Water Bugs
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 29-35), learners examine water pollution and filtration.
Exploring Fabrication: Self-Assembly
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.
Water Cycle in a Bag
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.
