Macchia Madness
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the history of making objects from glass and artistry of Dale Chihuly.
Introduction to Ocean Zones
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.
Water Fountain
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how a hydraulic pump works. Learners work in teams to design and build a unique water fountain that employs a hydraulic pump.
Tennis Anyone?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.
Designing Bandages
Source Institutions
Learners design different shaped bandages for different purposes. First, they draw their designs on paper.
Reason for the Seasons
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 6 of the PDF), learners plot the path of the sun's apparent movement across the sky on two days, with the second day occurring two or three months after the first.
Find Your Way Around Without Visual or Sound Cues
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues.
Energy For Life
Source Institutions
In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 1 of PDF), learners observe and quantify the growth of yeast when it is given table sugar as a food source.
Draggin' Boats
Source Institutions
Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.
Pipeline Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers develop pipeline systems to transport oil, water, gas, and other materials over very long distances.
Coral and Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners will explore whether increased carbon dioxide makes our oceans more basic or more acidic.
Slimy Cells
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners solidify their conceptualization of cells by building a model of a cell in a ziplock bag.
Sensational Seaweed
Source Institutions
In this culinary activity, learners use multiple senses (sight, smell, touch, and taste!) to explore real seaweed samples.
Prepare for a Dock Shop Field Trip
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore what makes a boat float and sink. They examine and test various objects to determine why objects float or sink.
Big Things Come in Little Packages
Source Institutions
As a group, learners investigate three packages which are all the same size and shape, but have different contents. One is filled with foam, one is filled with wood, and one is filled with metal.
Sky Glider Challenge
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners use two helium-filled balloons to build a blimp that can travel in a straight path across the room.
Sustainable Fishing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.
Robot Basketball
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore accuracy and precision.
Nano Latch-n-Catch
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.
Jet Propulsion
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners work in pairs to examine the four basic stages of a turbine engine.
