Woodpecker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.
Pollinator Play
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build a bee hotel for pollinators. Learners will explore building and ecology through this activity.
Static Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use static elecricity to bend a stream of water without touching it. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.
Mountains in the Sea
Source Institutions
In this 6-7 day investigation, learners begin with an introduction to seamounts that are present in the Gulf of Alaska.
Pollution Patrol
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.
Observing Different Microbes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a microscope to examine three different microbes: bacteria, yeast and paramecia. Educator will need to prepare the yeast solution one day before the activity.
Oil Spill Solutions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.
Filtration Investigation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineering has developed various means to remove impurities from water.
Building a Community From the Ground Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, a group of learners work collaboratively to design and construct a paper model showing the evolution of an environment through multiple stages, from prehistory through the modern cit
Hazardous Chemicals in Your Neighborhood
Source Institutions
In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine hazardous chemicals and their effects on human health and the environment.
Air Cannon
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting), learners will construct an air cannon by cutting a hole in the bottom of a bucket and stretching a garbage bag over the other end
Solar Water Heater
Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.
Trash Talkin'
In this activity, learners collect, categorize, weigh and analyze classroom trash and discuss ways that engineers have helped to reduce solid waste.
Investigating and Using Biomass Gases
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will be introduced to biomass gasification and will generate their own biomass gases.
House Warming
Source Institutions
In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how passive solar design increases energy efficiency.
Breaking Point
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.
The Carbon Cycle: How It Works
Source Institutions
In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another
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.
Nano Scavenger Hunt
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Where's Nano? Activity) about identifying nanoscale objects and phenomena in today's world.
