Aluminum Boats
Source Institutions
    
  Test the buoyancy of an aluminum foil boat and an aluminum foil ball. Why does the same material in different shapes sink or float?
   
Disappearing Statues
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.
   
Bobbing Eyeballs
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners use simple materials and basic tools to construct a special toy to explore pendulums. As the head of the toy bobs one way, the eyeballs bob the other way.
   
Mixtures and Solutions
Source Institutions
    
  This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to investigate heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures and solutions, identify the differences, and explore the conce
   
Bird in the Cage
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity about afterimages, learners explore what happens when receptor cells called cones in your eye's retina get tired.
   
Endurance: How Many Can You Do in a Row?
Source Institutions
    
  Combine math and exercise with this activity. Learners count how many times in a row they can skip rope or throw and catch a ball.
   
Wave on Wave
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners use raisins and seltzer water to understand why waves don’t move objects forward. Learners conduct two simple experiments to understand the circular movement of waves.
   
Twirling Rope Frequency
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch), learners will stand twelve feet apart swinging a rope at the slowest tempo possible while someone uses a stopwatch to record
   
Doce a la Vez
Source Institutions
    
  Jugando a este juego, los chicos desarrollan habilidades en área, perímetro, múltiples, y factores. Tomen turnos para hacer rectángulos con 12 cuadrados en la cuadrícula.
   
Starch Breakdown
Source Institutions
    
  Learners use Benedict’s solution and heat to test for the presence of simple sugars in glucose, sucrose, starch, and starch combined with amylase.
   
Pixel Tube
Source Institutions
    
  In this STEAM activity, learners create a "pixel tube" to explore reflections of light and color mixing.
   
Size Wheel
Source Institutions
    
  In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).
   
Four of the States of Matter
Source Institutions
    
  This kinesthetic science demonstration introduces learners to four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
   
Dissolving Different Liquids in Water
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners add different liquids to water and apply their working definition of “dissolving” to their observations.
   
"Boyle-ing" Water
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners explore Boyle's Law and discover that water will boil at room temperature if its pressure is lowered.
   
Dip Dip, Hooray
Source Institutions
    
  Lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies are a habitat for lots of living things, big and small.
   
Conservation of Mass
Source Institutions
    
  This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can participate to learn about conservation of gas. This is one of the classic experiments using baking soda and vinegar.
   
Convection Current
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners make their own heat waves in an aquarium.
   
LEGO Orrery
Source Institutions
    
  Use this model to demonstrate the goal of NASA's Kepler Mission: to find extrasolar planets through the transit method.
   
Strike 'em Down & Add 'em Up!
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, reuse two-liter bottles to create bowling pins. Learners practice math skills and develop a concept of verifying answers, while bowling and keeping score.
