Biobarcodes: Antibodies and Nanosensors
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity/demo, learners investigate biobarcodes, a nanomedical technology that allows for massively parallel testing that can assist with disease diagnosis.
   
Let's Dew It!
Source Institutions
    
  From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.
   
Help Wanted
Source Institutions
    
  In this interactive board game, learners "hire" different types of scientists to help canine character Ruff Ruffman solve unusual problems.
  Periodic Pegboard
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners use pegboard and straws to build a three-dimensional model of the periodic table.
   
Biomimicry: Synthetic Gecko Tape Through Nanomolding
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity/demo, learners examine a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics the behavior of the gecko foot.
   
Soak It Up: Understanding Amphibian Permeability
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners will discover how the thin layers of amphibians' skin allow water and other chemicals to pass through it.
   
Magnetic Pendulums
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity and demonstration about electricity and magnetism, learners observe how the current generated when one copper coil swings through a magnetic field starts a second coil swinging.
   
Dough Creatures
Source Institutions
    
  In this technology activity, learners light up the room with electrifying play dough creations. Learners use conductive and insulating homemade play dough to build simple circuits.
   
Is It Alive?
Source Institutions
    
  What does it mean to be alive? Is a cactus alive? Is a seed alive? Is the air we breathe alive? What are the necessary characteristics?
   
Clay Beams and Columns
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.
   
Investigating Ice Worlds
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.
   
Drawing Board
Source Institutions
    
  The Drawing Board consists of a marking pen that remains stationary and a platform that swings beneath the pen, acting as a pendulum.
   
Make Your Own Mini Mini Golf Course
Source Institutions
    
  Build your own Mini Mini Golf Course and learn about hands-on building and design, basic circuitry, motion modules and more!
  Dive into Design
Source Institutions
    
  Based of the The Tech Challenge 2015, learners will engage in two mini-design challenges related to seismic engineering.
   
Traveling Nanoparticles Model
Source Institutions
    
  This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity) about diffusion of small molecules across cell membranes.
   
Bounce vs. Thud Balls
Source Institutions
    
  Learners compare the properties of two balls that appear identical. One ball bounces, while the other ball "thuds." The “bounce” ball is made of the polymer polybutadiene (-C4H4-).
   
Casting and Molding
Source Institutions
    
  This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can explore the process used to cast and mold molten metal, glass, and plastics.
   
Sublimation Bubbles
Source Institutions
    
  "Sublimation Bubbles" allows learners to explore how some solid materials, such as dry ice, can phase change directly from their solid to gaseous form.
   
Lift Experiment
Source Institutions
    
  In this experiment, learners investigate how the size of a wing affects lift. Learners count the number of pennies an egg crate plane wing can hold until the plane will no longer fly.
   
Shadow Puppets
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners explore color, light and shadow by creating their own puppets to hold in front of a light source.
