Doppler Effect
Source Institutions
Sound changes pitch relative to how you or the source of the sound is moving. Use this simple activity developed by the Exploratorium to experience the Doppler Effect yourself!

Ladybug Spots
Source Institutions
In this art/science/math activity, young learners are introduced to the concept of symmetry in nature.

Identify Your Fingerprints
Source Institutions
Learners roll their fingerpads in ink pads, and then press their fingerprints onto balloons. Learners inflate the balloons to produce enlarged versions of their fingerprints.

The Rain Man
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe the hydrologic cycle in action as water evaporates and condenses to form rain right before their eyes.

The Jelly Bean Problem (JBP)
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged to eat some candy as a cell would need to as well as to think about some of the problems that arise when a cell ingests food.

Cartesian Diver
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: California Fish), learners will build a simple Cartesian Diver in an empty 2-liter bottle.

Moon Watch Flip Book!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe the moon each night for a month and draw their observations in a Moon Watch Log.

Shape Detectives
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners cutout a set of shape finder templates to explore shapes in the world around them.

Sum of Your Parts
Source Institutions
A group of 6 learners works together as a team with each learner performing a different role. Together, they need to maneuver a die through a maze.

Penny Battery
Source Institutions
