Modeling Day and Night
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF), learners make a "mini-globe" to investigate the causes of day and night on our planet.
Pollution Diffusion
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to investigate how pollution diffuses through ground material.
Coral and Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners will explore whether increased carbon dioxide makes our oceans more basic or more acidic.
Plastics the Second Time Around
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test and compare the physical properties of thermoplastic polymers. Learners compare different plastics based on their color, degree of transparency, texture, and density.
Of Cabbages and Kings
Source Institutions
This lesson gives full instructions for making cabbage juice indicator, a procedure sheet for learners to record observations as they use the indicator to test materials, and extension activities to d
Sensory Hi-Lo Hunt
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.
Density Rainbow
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix several sugar solutions to investigate the property of density. Each sugar solution has a different density and color of the rainbow.
Breaking the Tension: Surface Tension 1
Source Institutions
Learners explore how the attractive forces between water molecules create surface tension and allow certain objects to float on the surface of water.
Rubber Band newton Scale
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a simple spring-like scale using a rubber band instead of a spring, and calibrate the scale in newtons (N).
Recycling Paper
Source Institutions
In this crafty chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make their own paper from used paper they may have otherwise thrown away.
