Exploring Fabrication: Self-Assembly
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.
Roller Coasters
Source Institutions
In this design challenge, learners will create their own roller coaster using household objects for the track and a marble or small ball as their cart.
Mating Game
Source Institutions
In this game (on pages 14-21), learners explore how each human being inherits genetic traits such as eye color.
What am I?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.
Exploring A Hydrogel
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 10 of the PDF, learners develop an experiment to answer the following question: "How much water can the hydrogel in a baby diaper hold?" Use this activity to explore polymers,
Como funciona un extintor
Source Institutions
In this Spanish-language chemistry activity, learners use simple materials to explore how fire extinguishers work to put out fires.
Gumdrop Dome
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners construct sturdy geodesic structures out of gumdrops and toothpicks. Use this activity to explore engineering principles as well as sturdy shapes and triangles.
Balloon Rockets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create a model rocket out of an inflated balloon attached to a straw on a taught string.
Sky Floater Challenge
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.
Crazy About Kites
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.
Pop Fly
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners invent a way to send a Ping-Pong ball flying high enough to catch it - like football with a twist!
