M&M's in Different Temperatures
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to investigate whether the temperature of the surrounding water affects the rate at which the colored coating dissolves from an M&M.
Mystery Boxes for Grades 3-5
Source Institutions
Learners manipulate opaque, sealed boxes and attempt to determine their interior structures. Each box contains a moving ball and one or more fixed barriers.
Evaporation
Source Institutions
This three-part activity consists of an activity that groups of learners develop themselves, a given procedure, and an optional demonstration.
Mysterious M&M's
Source Institutions
Learners place an M&M candy in water and observe what happens. The sugar-and-color coating dissolves and spreads out in a circular pattern around the M&M.
Water Striders
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners catch and observe water striders to explore their movement and feeding behaviors.
Biodiversity of Feet
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Biodiversity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into biodiversity.
Temperature Affects the Solubility of Gases
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners heat and cool carbonated water to find out whether temperature has an effect on how fast the dissolved gas leaves carbonated water.
Animal Ears
Source Institutions
This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Horse Ears) is a full inquiry investigation into animal behavior and communication.
The Egg Activity
Source Institutions
Learners observe the outside and inside of raw chicken eggs, record descriptions, and hypothesize what will happen when a facilitator drops an egg on the floor.
Number Patterns
Source Institutions
In this lesson, learners are challenged to discover the relationship among six numbers.
Condensation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the process of condensation.
Exploring Bouncing Balls
Source Institutions
Learners explore the physical properties of a variety of balls and how they bounce.
Dissolving a Substance in Different Liquids
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make colored sugar and add it to water, alcohol, and oil to discover some interesting differences in dissolving.
Developing Tests to Distinguish Between Similar-Looking Unknowns
Source Institutions
Learners identify an unknown liquid by comparing its behavior to known liquids. Learners drop liquids onto different surfaces and see how the liquids behave.
Scent Tag
Source Institutions
In this matchmaking activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Animal Scent Activity), learners will each have a scented cotton ball taped to their shoulder. The scent (e.g.
Animal Reflection Response
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Horse Ears), learners observe how an animal responds to its own reflection.
Temperature Affects Dissolving
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to compare how well cocoa mix dissolves in cold and hot water. They will see that cocoa mix dissolves much better in hot water. Adult supervision recommended.
