Salt 'n Lighter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.
Roving on the Moon
Add to list DetailsIn this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.
Float Your Boat
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.
Build a Borneo Glider
Source Institutions
In this inquiry-based activity, learners investigate the basic forces of flight as they construct their own paper glider that represents a rainforest creature from Borneo (large, tropical island in So
Convection Demonstration
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity), learners will see the effects of convection and understand what makes hot air balloons rise.
Design a Submarine
Source Institutions
Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.
Paper Airplanes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the properties of paper by constructing and modifying paper airplanes.
Aluminum Boats
Source Institutions
Test the buoyancy of an aluminum foil boat and an aluminum foil ball. Why does the same material in different shapes sink or float?
Build a Raft
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.
