Which Powder is It?
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners identify an unknown white powder by comparing it with common household powders.
Hot Spot
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the invisible infrared radiation from an electric heater.
Falling Feather
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners recreate Galileo's famous experiment, in which he dropped a heavy weight and a light weight from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa to show that both weights fall
Infant Moon: Moon Mix!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the Moon's infancy and model how an ocean of molten rock (magma) helped shape the Moon that we see today.
Kid Moon: Splat!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model ancient lunar impacts using water balloons.
Crayfish Investigations
Source Institutions
This activity has learners interacting with live crayfish, but could be adapted for a variety of similar hardy and interesting organisms.
Finding Colors
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners combine acids and bases in a universal indicator to create five different colors.
Mars from Above: Carving Channels
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create channel features with flowing water, comparing their observations to real images of Mars and Earth taken by satellites/orbiters.
Low-Tech Water Filter for High-Impact Clean
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.
Levers at Play
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).
Moving and Working in Space
Source Institutions
In this activity, groups of four learners must complete a set of four manual tasks. The restrictions are that they must complete the tasks in a limited time while wearing garden or rubber gloves.
Exploring Science Practices: Early Explorations
Source Institutions
This activity gives caregivers and their children an opportunity to practice scientific ways of thinking that are developmentally appropriate for early learners.
Bubbles: Using Controls
In this experiment, learners use JOY liquid detergent and glycerin to make the largest bubble they can that lasts 15 seconds.
