Design a Landing Pod!
Source Institutions
In this team design challenge (page 11-18 of PDF), learners design and build a Landing Pod for a model Lunar Rover (previously built in activity on page 1-10 of PDF).

M&M® Model of the Atom: Edible Subatomic Particles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use colored candy to represent subatomic particles and make a model of an atom (Bohr model).

Make a Balance / Scale
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a kind of balance device using a wire coat hanger, some string, and paper cups.

Airplane Wing Investigation
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into Bernoulli’s principle and airplane wings.

Light as Air
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate air has weight by comparing an inflated balloon to a deflated one.

Metric Capers
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners measure familiar objects in nature to practice working with the metric system.

Heavy or Light
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore a scale by comparing objects, which look similar but have different weights. Learners predict and then measure the weights of various objects using a scale.

Stretching Wires
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners determine the elastic and plastic properties of different types of metal wires.

Density Rainbows
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of density by pouring 5 different liquids into a jar. Food coloring is added if needed to give each liquid a distinct color.

Mass of the Earth
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth.

Atomic Mobile
Source Institutions
Learners make a mobile model of a carbon atom using clay, wire, and pipe cleaners.
