Honeycomb Geometry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build a honeycomb. Learners will investigate how the shape of the honeycomb develops. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.

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.

Bonseki Salt Art
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will be creating art using a traditional Japanese art style.

Make a Human Scale Ladder
Source Institutions
In this quick activity about size and scale (on page 2 of the PDF under What's Nano?

Radar Mapping: What's in the Box?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mimic remote sensing. Learners use a stick to measure the distance to a "planet surface" they cannot see, and create their own map of the landscape.

Jumping Beans
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of static electricity.

Olympic Track Meet
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how exercise helps keep the body healthy. Learners increase their heart rates by running and understand how running fast versus walking affects their pulse rates.

Moonlight Serenade
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners act as the Earth and observe how different angles between the Sun, Earth, and Moon affect the phases of the moon we see each month.

Sunny Day Painting
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

Natural Selection of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria
Source Institutions
In this activity (p.3-4 of PDF), learners learn about disease transmission and antibiotic resistance.

Your Father's Nose
Source Institutions
In this fun optics activity, learners explore principles of light, reflection (mirrors), and perception. Learners work in pairs and sit on opposite sides of a "two-way" mirror.

Arithmetic
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners will brush up on their multiplication, division, and factoring skills with this exciting game.

Separating a Mixture
Source Institutions
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can explore means of physically separating a mixture using dissolving, filtration, and evaporation.

Toilet Paper Solar System
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a scale model of the solar system using a roll of toilet paper.

Yabba-Dabba You
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore genes and traits. Learners investigate their fingerprints and learn how to categorize them.

Wet Pennies
Source Institutions
Learners initially test to see how many drops of liquid (water, rubbing alcohol, and vegetable oil) can fit on a penny.

Pinhole Magnifier
Source Institutions
In this activity related to light and perception, learners use a pinhole in an index card as a magnifying glass to help their eye focus on a nearby object.

Circles of Magnetism I
Source Institutions
In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners create a magnetic field that's stronger than the Earth's magnetic field.

Thaumatropes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make a thaumatrope, an old-fashioned optical illusion that dates back to the 1820s.

Tape Electroscope
Source Institutions
In this simple activity, learners create an electroscope by sticking two short pieces of magic tape together and then pulling them apart to find the sign of the charge on an unknown charged object.
