Glowing Pickle
Source Institutions
In this activity, high voltage is applied across a pickle to emit a yellow glow. This activity should only be conducted by skilled adults and is best suited as a demonstration.
How can You Demonstrate the Efficiency of Different Light Bulbs?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners actually feel the difference in energy required to light two different types of light bulbs: incandescent light and LEDs.
Wandering Wands
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct wands that play different notes depending on information from light sensors programmed via a PICO Cricket.
Detect Solar Storms
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build their own magnetometer using an empty soda bottle, magnets, laser pointer, and household objects.
Exploring the Nanoworld with LEGO Bricks: Structure-Property Relationships at the Nanoscale
Source Institutions
In this activity (pages 32-41), learners learn how the atomic and molecular arrangement of matter are related to physical properties.
Solar Cell Simulation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.
Exploring the Nanoworld with LEGO Bricks: Structures and Their Construction at the Nanoscale
Source Institutions
In this activity (pages 42-49), learners discover the methods and challenges of building nanoscale structures with macroscale equipment.
Electric Cup Guitar
Source Institutions
Make a one-string "guitar" by stringing a cup with some fishing line. You amplify the plucking of the string by placing a piezo contact microphone and mini battery powered amplifier inside the cup.
Curie Point
Source Institutions
In this activity best suited as a demonstration, learners observe that when a piece of iron gets too hot, it loses its ability to be magnetized.
