Waves: An Alternative Energy Source
Source Institutions
In this data analysis and environmental science activity, learners evaluate the feasibility of wave energy as a practical alternative energy source using ocean observing system (OOS) buoys.
Bouncing Yo-Yo
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build unique yo-yos, which spin round and round without moving up and down.
Oil Spot Photometer
Source Institutions
In this math activity related to light, learners assemble a photometer and use it to estimate the power output of the Sun.
Stabilization Wedges Game
Source Institutions
This game introduces learners to the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and prevent climate change.
Light Bulb Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the difference between compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs and traditional incandescent bulbs.
Blowin' in the Wind
Source Institutions
In this environmental engineering activity, learners build windmills using everyday items. The first challenge is to build windmills that spin when placed in front of a fan.
Backyard Biodiesel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a small batch of biodiesel that will work in any diesel engine. Learners use an old juice bottle as a "reactor" vessel to chemically process vegetable oil into fuel.
