Moving Molecules!
Source Institutions
In this activity about molecular diffusion (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity), learners will make predictions and move molecules of iodine through a seemingly solid plastic sandw
Paper Airplane Contest
Source Institutions
In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.
Paper Bridge
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, challenge learners to construct a paper bridge that can support 100 pennies.
Cooling the Mummy's Tomb
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to help Pharaoh design a better insulated tomb.
What Causes Pressure?
Source Institutions
In this kinesthetic activity that demonstrates pressure, learners act as air molecules in a "container" as defined by a rope.
¡Espirales de Colores!
Source Institutions
En esta actividad sobre la densidad de los líquidos, los participantes ven si las gotas de colorante se hunden en diferentes soluciones de agua.
Gravity-Defying Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore gravity and air pressure as they experiment with holding a glass full of water upside down, without spilling it, using a simple piece of cardstock.
A Mole of Gas
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners use everyday materials to visualize one mole of gas or 22.4 liters of gas. The first activity involves sublimating dry ice in large garbage bag.
Disappearing Glass Rods
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners discover how they can make glass objects "disappear." Learners submerge glass objects like stirring rods into a beaker of Wesson™ oil to explore how the principles of
Gumdrop Chains and Shrinky Necklaces
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners thread gumdrops together to make a model of a polymer.
Race Around the Black Hole
Source Institutions
In this game, learners cutout a model black hole "cone" and attempt to roll around a marble or other small spherical object without touching the event horizon.
Test Density with a Supersaturated Solution
Source Institutions
Learners create three solutions with different levels of salinity. They compare the density of these solutions by coloring them and layering them in a clear plastic cup and in a soda bottle.
Power Up!
Source Institutions
In this online game, learners must purchase power plants for their city.
Hanford at the Half-Life Radiation Calculator
Source Institutions
This quiz lets you estimate your annual radiation exposure.
Block Bowling
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will build structures out of blocks and then roll balls to try to knock them down.
Gravity Launch
Source Institutions
In this online game, learners attempt to send a rocket ship to various targets. Learners can adjust the angle and thrust of the rocket before it is launched.
Mixing and Unmixing in the Kitchen
Source Institutions
In this chemistry investigation, learners combine common cooking substances (flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, pepper, oil, water, food coloring) to explore mixtures.
Anti-Gravity Chamber
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use magnets and household items to create a structure that allows paperclips to appear like they are floating.
Enzyme Action
Source Institutions
In this activity that can be used as a lab or demonstration, learners use Lactaid® and lactose to demonstrate the concept of enzyme action.
Three Circles of Pigments
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners overlap the three primary colors to see how all other colors are made.
