Source Institutions
In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.
Having a Gas with Cola
Source Institutions

Source Institutions
In this math lesson (on Page 13), learners predict and simulate the likelihood of an event occurring.
Atoms and Matter (K-2)
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.
Breaking Beams
Learners investigate stress and strain by designing, building, and testing beams made from polymer clay.
Balloon Impacts
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners measure the diameter of their water balloons, model an impact, measure the diameter of the “crater” area, and determine the ratio of impactor to crater.
