Fish forms
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a three-dimensional sculpture while examining the characteristics of fish.
Designing Bandages
Source Institutions
Learners design different shaped bandages for different purposes. First, they draw their designs on paper.
Draggin' Boats
Source Institutions
Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.
Coral and Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners will explore whether increased carbon dioxide makes our oceans more basic or more acidic.
Sustainable Fishing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.
Nano Latch-n-Catch
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.
Building Together
Source Institutions
In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners explore what it means to work together as a team.
Caring Together: Activity Stations
Source Institutions
In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners explore the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) by rotating through several activity stations.
Rutherford Roller
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a black box device that serves as an excellent analogy to Rutherford's famous experiment in which he deduced the existence of the atomic nucleus.
Wind Works!
Source Institutions
Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.
Investigating the Line
Source Institutions
In the related activity called "Colors Collide or Combine," learners are intrigued by the apparent "line" that forms where colors from M&M coatings meet but do not mix.
An Inventory of My Traits
Source Institutions
In this genetics meets math activity, learners take inventories of their own easily-observable genetic traits and compare those inventories with other learners in groups.
Crime Scene: The Case of the Missing Computer Chip
Source Institutions
Learners use scientific processes to solve a crime. As they get clues, learners must create a hypothesis then adjust that hypothesis as more information is revealed.
Safe Food Preparation
Source Institutions
In this activity about food safety and nutrition, learners investigate safe food preparation by making fruit ice cream.
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
Particle Detection
Source Institutions
By tossing, collecting, and sorting beanbags, learners understand how the IBEX spacecraft uses its sensors to detect and map the locations of particle types in the interstellar boundary.
Mold Mole Molds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).
Generations of Traits
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners track and record the passage of colored "pompom traits" through three generations of gingerbread people.
Pick the Risk: The Polygenic Pedigree Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged to track and record the passage of colored pom poms (representing genes) through generations of a family using a pedigree.
Secret Writing Devices
Source Institutions
In this activity about encryption, learners cut out a secret decoder badge from a handout and use it to encode messages to each other.
