Build a Solar System
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a scale model of the Solar System and learn the real definition of "space." Learners use the online calculator to create an appropriate scale to use as a basis for thei

Whose Fault Is It?
Source Institutions
In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

Stride Ruler
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use their feet to estimate distances. Learners calculate the distance of one step in centimeters by measuring 10 steps at a time to reduce measurement error.

Running in Circles
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners use some common objects and work together to simulate the Coriolis effect. During the challenge, learners make predictions and test different scenarios.

Earth Walk
Source Institutions
In this hands-on and feet-on excursion, learners take a science walk to visualize the planet's immense size and numerous structures, without the usual scale and ratio dimensions found in most textbook

Balancing Stick
Source Institutions
In this quick and simple activity, learners explore how the distribution of the mass of an object determines the position of its center of gravity, its angular momentum, and your ability to balance it

Traveling Networks
Source Institutions
In this geometry activity, learners explore networks painted on playgrounds, such as a four square court, and draw their own.

Air Pressure and Dent Pullers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.

String Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work together to make polygons (many-sided shapes) with string. Learners sit on the floor and hold onto a piece of string slid between their thumbs and index fingers.
