Egg Drop
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will design a protective package for an egg that will allow the egg to withstand a fall without cracking.

Pinhole Viewer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

Heating and Cooling of the Earth's Surface
Source Institutions
Learners conduct an experiment to determine the rate at which two materials, sand and water, heat up and cool down.

Number Sense and Computation: Soak It Up
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners compare products to determine the best product.

Geometry: Let's Face It
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners identify, describe, and construct the five regular polyhedra.

Whale Communication Hide and Seek
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners pretend that they are orcas and search for their "pods" using Morse code.

Mystery Powders
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 2 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners conduct chemical tests on certain powders used in cooking.

Make a Dinosaur Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

What Shape Is It?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners determine the shape of an unseen object by bouncing a ball off the object.

Beyond Dominoes: Polyominoes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners add squares to paper dominoes to make polyominoes.

Cats and Canaries
Source Institutions
In this math puzzle game, learners work together to use algebraic reasoning and fun clues for solving word puzzles.

Natural Selection in Protected and Unprotected Populations
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners model two elephant seal populations and how they change over time. Learners start with cards representing a variety of seals.
Fossil Fuels: Facing the Issues
Source Institutions
Through doing these hands-on activities, learners explore the environmental consequences associated with fossil fuel usage.

Insulation Station
Source Institutions
In this physical sciences activity, learners explore insulation. Leaners investigate how insulation can be used to slow down the conduction of heat from one side of a wall to the other.

Newton's 2nd Law: Inquiry Approach
Source Institutions
In this lab activity, learners act as fellow scientists and colleagues of Isaac Newton. He has asked them to independently test his ideas on the nature of motion, in particular his 2nd Law.

Coral, Carbon Dioxide and Calcification
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.

Pop Bottle Whirligig
Source Institutions
Learn about friction and kinetic energy with this cool spinning toy.

Measuring Biodiversity
Source Institutions
Learners use a variety of beans to represent a variety of species, and scatter these beans over a large piece of paper representing the environment.

Toy Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this playful, goopy activity, learners mix two liquids to create a solid (that sometimes acts like a liquid ), using basic household materials such as borax and glue.

Get a Leg Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment and collect data during a simulation of the fluid shifts experienced by astronauts' bodies in microgravity.
