Weight For It!
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity about weights and balances, learners create their own balance using paper cups. Then, learners explore how to compare the relative mass of objects.
   
Multifactorial Inheritance
Source Institutions
    
  In this biology activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners roll a die to create a simple model that teaches them about the factors contributing to heart disease.
   
Crystal Gardens
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, which requires adult supervision, learners get to explore the awesome power of chemistry.
   
Newton's in the Driver's Seat
Source Institutions
    
  In this playful physics activity (page eight of the pdf), learners use toy cars to explore how speed and weight affect the results of collision.
   
Frosty Glasses
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners explore why frost forms. They create their own frost using a solution of ice water and salt in a glass.
   
Handwriting Analysis
Source Institutions
    
  In this forensics activity, students will explore the methods that investigators use to confirm the authenticity of handwriting.
   
Egg-stra Strength
Source Institutions
    
  In this physics activity, learners will investigate the strength of egg shells.
   
Magnet Races
Source Institutions
    
  In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore how similar magnetic poles repel one another. They will rely on linear induction to race magnets around a simple course.
   
Build a Rocket - and a Launch Pad!
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners construct a rocket powered by the pressure generated from an effervescing antacid tablet reacting with water, and build a launch pad for their rocket.
   
Balancing Act
Source Institutions
    
  In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will build a class 1 lever and hypothesize and test the distances two objects need to be placed from the fulcrum in order to balance.
   
"Can" You Stand the Pressure
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity about states of matter, learners get to witness firsthand the awesome power of air pressure. They watch as an ordinary soda can is crushed by invisible forces.
   
Spit Test
Source Institutions
    
  In this biology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will explore how saliva assists in the beginning of the digestive process.
   
Magic Colored Milk
Source Institutions
    
  In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will use milk and a few other basic ingredients to create a chemical change to make a color wheel.
   
Bent Toward Science: Refraction
Source Institutions
    
  This is an activity about the behavior of light. Using simple, everyday objects, learners will discover that light moves in straight lines until acted upon by another object.
   
Dichotomous Key
Source Institutions
    
  In this classification activity, learners will learn one way of organizing plants and animals.
   
Flip
Source Institutions
    
  In this amazingly simple physics activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will explore how exerting a force on an object can give it kinetic energy and momentum.
   
3 Classes of Levers
Source Institutions
    
  In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will move a load using a lever of each of the 3 classes. They will explore the differences between these classes and which are more effective.
   
Soda Pop Cave
Source Institutions
    
  In this geology activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners explore how carbonic acid can slowly dissolve limestone and form caves.
   
Rubberband Rollback
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity about potential and kinetic energy, learners get to roll a can across the floor and then watch it roll back to them as if by magic. This activity is always great for looks of wonder!
   
Balancing Act
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners will explore their center of gravity.
