Rotating Light
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore what happens when polarized white light passes through a sugar solution.
How Plants Grow
Source Institutions
In this biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore how plants turn sunlight into food through a process called photosynthesis.
Clothespin Workout
Source Institutions
This is a great activity about human energy production. Learners will work out with a clothespin to investigate why hockey players jump on a stationary bike after an intense game.
