Cookie Paleontology
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners will explore paleontology and archaeology. They will learn about technique as they excavate raisins and chocolate chips from cookies.
   
Magnetism Hunt
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity about magnetism (page 4 of the PDF), learners will experiment with magnets and different objects to find out that not all metals are attracted to magnets.
   
Magnetisphere
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity about magnetism (page seven of the pdf), learners experiment with magnets to better understand how magnetic fields work.
   
The Pressure's On
Source Institutions
    
  In this chemistry activity, learners explore chemical reactions and their effects, including the kind of reaction in the human body that makes people burp!
   
Dangling Magnet
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity about magnetism (page 13 of the pdf), learners will experiment with magnets to explore how water and other liquids affect the strength of magnetic fields.
   
Food Chains
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners will explore the roles of different animals in the food chain. They will create their own food chain using organisms of their choice.
   
What's for Dinner?
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will create a food web and explore food sources for different organisms. They will identify relationships between organisms in an ecosystem.
   
COSI Quicksand
Source Institutions
    
  In this chemistry experiment, learners get to make a very bizarre substance using corn starch and water. Is it a solid? Is it a liquid? Or is it a different kind of substance entirely?
   
Chain Reaction II
Source Institutions
    
  In this hands-on activity, learners use an assortment of (mainly household) items to complete Rube Goldberg-type challenges.
   
Peanut Butter and Jelly Robot
Source Institutions
    
  This is an activity about robotics programming. Learners will discover how precise programmers have to be as they instruct a friend to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
   
Chemical Breath
Source Institutions
    
  This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 7 of the PDF). Learners see firsthand how chemicals in a solution can combine to form an entirely different substance.
   
Hot Potato
Source Institutions
    
  In this health activity (page 7 of the PDF), learners will discover the importance of handwashing as a factor in reducing the spread of pathogens.
   
An Object in Motion
Source Institutions
    
  In this physics activity (page nine of the pdf), learners use balloons to explore how a rocket works. It is suggested they also work to see how they can alter the velocity of the rocket.
   
Chromatography
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will observe a physical change.
   
Big Wave
Source Institutions
    
  This is an activity about waves. Using marbles, paper clips and rubber bands, learners explore how waves behave.
   
A Swell Activity with Beans
Source Institutions
    
  In this combination chemistry and physics activity, learners explore water absorption in dried beans or peas and learn how this affects their physical properties.
   
Tumble Wing Walkalong Glider
Source Institutions
    
  In this physics activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will construct their own walkalong glider. They will explore how air, though invisible, surrounds and affects other objects.
   
Take Me to the (Magnet) Races
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity about magnetism (page 11 of the pdf), learners will experiment with magnets to explore how opposite poles attract and similar poles repel in magnetism.
   
Snake
Source Institutions
    
  In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will construct their own spiral "snake" and use it to explore the relationship between heat and kinetic energy.
  Coat Hanger Chimes
Source Institutions
    
  In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will--using nothing more than a coat hanger and some string--explore and understand sound energy and how it moves.
