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.
Radioactive Decay of Candium
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.
Bubble Trouble
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 15 of the PDF, learners measure the amount of bubbles that they make using a detergent.
Foam Tower
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides), learners will whip up some suds with a cup of water and a tablespoon of dish soap until the bubbles are stiff enough to star
Density Rainbow and the Great Viscosity Race
Learners conduct two activities to investigate two properties of liquids: density and viscosity. In a clear container, learners stack 7 different liquids which will layer according to their density.
Glow Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore chemiluminescence and fluorescence. Learners examine 3 different solutions in regular light, in the dark with added bleach solution, and under a black light.
Pollution Diffusion
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to investigate how pollution diffuses through ground material.
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.
Stem Cell Differentiation Game
Source Institutions
This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.
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.
Moving Without Wheels
In a class demonstration, learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport.
Crunch and Munch Lab
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use three types of cheesy snacks--cheese balls, cheese puffs, and Cheetos--to learn about polymers.
Butter Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will discover how to make butter from scratch. One optional tips includes adding marbles to speed up the process.
Marshmallow Models
Source Institutions
No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.
Molecular Menagerie
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.
What's in a Penny?
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners use chemical reactions to observe the composition of an alloy.
Milk Plastic
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners transform everyday milk into small plastic figurines and jewelry. Use this activity to introduce learners to monomers and polymers.
Squishy Letters
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will practice writing while making a fun messy craft. Learners will explore texture and color as well as develop writing and fine motor skills through this activity.
