Is it a Fair Game?
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners play two versions of a card game and decide what makes a game fair. Learners also practice addition and subtraction skills.
The Power of Togetherness
Source Institutions
In this activity about human anatomy (page 16 of PDF), learners construct a model arm and discover how muscles and bones work together to achieve efficient movement.
Investigating Ice Worlds
Source Institutions
In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.
Temperature Tactics
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.
Chocoberry Chillers: Volume for Thought
Source Institutions
In this Cyberchase activity, have fun measuring volumes and enjoy a delicious shake.
A Question of Balance
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers use scales and measures when designing a manufacturing process to ensure that final products are uniform in weight or count.
Everything Grows
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore patterns and sequences as they observe fictional plant growth.
Stack-o-Pennies Shop
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their height in pennies.
T-Shirt Transformation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will repurpose an old t-shirt to create their own yarn or string.
Cylinders and Scale
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the relative growth of lengths, areas, and volumes as cylinders are scaled up.
Ramp it Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.
Can Energy be Created or Destroyed?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.
Personal Pinhole Theater
Source Institutions
Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!
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.
Fossil Age Estimation Model
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs), learners will model how paleontologists estimate the age of fossil discoveries by extracting “fossil” playing cards from newspa
Trash Talkin'
In this activity, learners collect, categorize, weigh and analyze classroom trash and discuss ways that engineers have helped to reduce solid waste.
Geometry Construction: Polyhedral Playthings
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.
Determining the Amount of Transpiration from a Schoolyard Tree
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners calculate the number of milliliters of water a nearby tree transpires per day.
Make an Animation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a device called a phenakistoscope, which displays a continuously looping animation consisting of images drawn onto a spinning disc.
House Warming
Source Institutions
In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how passive solar design increases energy efficiency.
