Inverse Functions: Pennies, Pressure, Temperature, and Light
Source Institutions
The major goal of this math lesson is to have learners collect data from a variety of experiments, determine what models best fits their data, and explain why their models are best.
The Electric Squeeze
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.
Stereoscope
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.
Kid Moon: Splat!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model ancient lunar impacts using water balloons.
Biological Succession in a Microecosystem
Source Institutions
This laboratory activity helps learners understand the concept of biological succession by simulating the process in a microenvironment with various protozoans.
Science Cooks!
Source Institutions
In this health, cooking, and math activity, learners explore nutrition and examine nutrition labels.
Slimy Cells
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners solidify their conceptualization of cells by building a model of a cell in a ziplock bag.
Robot Basketball
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore accuracy and precision.
Solar System in My Neighborhood
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.
Floodplain Modeling
In this design-based lesson, learners study flood dynamics as they modify a riverbed with blockages or levees to simulate real-world scenarios.
Particle Detection
Source Institutions
By tossing, collecting, and sorting beanbags, learners understand how the IBEX spacecraft uses its sensors to detect and map the locations of particle types in the interstellar boundary.
Hatch-a-Cyst
Source Institutions
What is the optimal environment for hatching brine shrimp? Using a scaffold, learners design and conduct experiments testing the effect of a single abiotic factor on brine shrimp cyst hatch rate.
