Light on Other Planets
Source Institutions
In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe
Walking Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will be working with a sort of scientific magic, capillary action! They will set up 3 cups of water of different colors, connect them with paper towels and wait.
Mapping Sea Level Rise
Source Institutions
In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.
Digging Into the Past
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 23-27) lets learners simulate the work of scientists who take core samples of Earth's rocky layers to determine geological history.
Let's Dew It!
Source Institutions
From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.
Lightest and Heaviest: Sorting Algorithms
Source Institutions
Computers are often used to put lists into some sort of order—for example, names into alphabetical order, appointments or e-mail by date, or items in numerical order.
Observing Earthworm Locomotion
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners collect worms and then observe how they move.
Transit Tracks
Source Institutions
In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.
Using Solar Energy
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how solar energy can be used to heat water.
Hanging Around
Learners investigate weight by building a spring scale. They observe and record how it responds to objects with different masses.
Scent Tracking
Source Institutions
In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.
Rubber Band Racer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.
Dinosaur Interaction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore why animals, specifically dinosaurs, live in families.
Evolution in Plane Sight
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.
Chances Are: OH NO! Look Out Below for a UFO
Source Institutions
In this math lesson (on Page 13), learners predict and simulate the likelihood of an event occurring.
Paddle Boat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build an old-fashioned paddle boat out of simple materials.
Chances Are: It's a Mystery to Me
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners extend their understanding of basic probability concepts as they learn to name all of the possible outcomes of an event as well as ways to express the likelihood of such
Visualizing How the Vestibular System Works
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 59 of the PDF), learners spin and observe false eyelashes in jars of water (prepared at least 1 day ahead of time) to investigate the effects of different types of motion on the
What's in the Water?: Biotic and Abiotic Elements in Aquatic Ecosystems
Source Institutions
In this investigation learners explore the differences between, and interdependence of, living and nonliving elements in a water ecosystem.
