Walk On Water Bugs
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 29-35), learners examine water pollution and filtration.
Multiple Reflections
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how mirrors reflect light and change the way we see things.
Underwater Hide and Seek
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experience firsthand how marine animals' adaptive coloration camouflages them from prey.
Tracking Otters
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 38-43) has learners simulate the way scientists track and map the movement of otters in the wild using radio trackers.
Pea Brain!: Explorations in Estimation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.
Using Chemical Change to Identify an Unknown
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will develop a method to test five similar-looking powders (baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar, detergent, and cornstarch) with four test liquids (water, vinegar, i
Make Pan Pipes
Source Institutions
This is a simple activity for learners to create a traditional musical instrument. Pan Pipes have developed all over the world in different cultures, from South America to Greece and China.
Disappearing Water
Source Institutions
In this outdoor water activity, learners explore evaporation by painting with water and tracing puddles. Learners will discover that wet things become dry as the water evaporates.
Energy Choices Board Game
Source Institutions
This board game teaches learners about energy decision making. Players select cards that determine the transportation and home design that will influence their expenses as they play.
Portable Potable Pressure
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use plastic water bottles, wood, and water to build an inexpensive and portable tool to demonstrate one atmosphere of pressure at sea level.
Balloon Staging
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate a multistage rocket launch using party balloons, fishing line, straws, and a plastic cup.
Inflate-a-mole
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find the volume of one mole of gas. Learners capture sublimated gas from dry ice in a ziploc bag and use water displacement to measure its volume.
Energy Use in the Americas
Source Institutions
Learners explore the relationship between energy consumption, population, and carbon emissions in the countries of the Americas.
3D-tection: Trying to Fit In
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how molecules must fit together, like a lock and key, in order to identify each other and initiate a new function as a combined unit.
Puzzled Partners
Source Institutions
In this web-based activity, learners try to figure out who in an online chat room has their matching puzzle piece.
Making Rivers
Source Institutions
In this outdoor water activity, learners explore how to change the direction of water flow. Learners make puddles in dirt or use existing puddles and sticks to make water flow.
A Model Nuclear Power Plant Steam Turbine
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 20-23 of PDF), learners build a model of a power plant using simple materials.
Balloon Car
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore force and motion by constructing cardboard cars that are propelled by balloons.
Tourist Town: Dominating Sets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a fictitious map of "Tourist Town" and counters to problem solve how to place ice-cream vans on street intersections so that every other intersection is connected to one
Ice on Mars
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use sand and ice cubes to create a model of permafrost and the effects of the ice melting through the surface.
