Cleaning with Dirt
Source Institutions
Learners build a filter from old soda bottles and dirt. They create polluted water, and pour it through their filter to clean it.
Caution! Wildlife Crossing
Source Institutions
In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.
Up, Up and Away with Bottles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.
Dive into Design
Source Institutions
Based of the The Tech Challenge 2015, learners will engage in two mini-design challenges related to seismic engineering.
Rescue Mission
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.
Which Parachute
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.
Watercraft
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a boat that can hold 25 pennies (or 15 one inch metal washers) for at least ten seconds before sinking.
Touch Down
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” when they land.
Air Cannon
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting), learners will construct an air cannon by cutting a hole in the bottom of a bucket and stretching a garbage bag over the other end
Mold Mole Molds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).
Zany Zen Garden
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will turn an ordinary tray of sand into a desk-top garden for meditation.
Windmills
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 8-9 of the PDF), learners will explore wind energy. They will build their own windmill and see how energy from wind can be converted into a useable form.
Shaking It!
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.
Survivors! The People of the Arctic
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use maps to locate the Arctic region and use a word game to discover the types of resource people need to survive in the extreme climate.
