Why Doesn’t the Ocean Freeze?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.
Strengthen a Paper Bridge
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War), learners will test how many pennies a flat paper index card bridging the gap between two stacks of books is able to supp
Understanding Albedo
Source Institutions
In this activity related to climate change, learners examine albedo and the ice albedo feedback effect as it relates to snow, ice, and the likely results of reduced snow and ice cover on global temper
Disappearing Statues
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.
Rippin' Rockets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in pairs to conduct a series of experiments using a balloon, drinking straw, and paper.
Design a Submarine
Source Institutions
Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.
You're Grounded
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners test the stability of towers they build out of cups, discovering that structures with more mass in the base are more stable.
Make Your Own Deep-Sea Vent
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a model of the hot water of a deep sea vent in the cold water of the ocean to learn about one of the ocean's most amazing and bizarre underwater habitats.
Building a Magic Carpet
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 89 of the PDF), learners compare and contrast pitch and roll motions by using a Magic Carpet maze similar to one that was used for Neurolab investigations about microgravity.
Investigating Convection
Source Institutions
This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.
Building a 3-D Space Maze: Escher Staircase
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about
Build A Hydrometer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.
