Earthquake Energy
Source Institutions
In this geology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners simulate an earthquake with little more than an elastic band and drinking straws.

Source Institutions
Learners use simple materials to construct a model the Big Dipper. Learners hang the model from a doorway or ceiling and look up at it to see the constellation as seen from Earth.

Shaving Cream Nebula Prints
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will swirl paint into shaving cream to make an extravagant nebula print.

Resonant Rings
Source Institutions
Things that are different sizes and stiffness vibrate differently, and in this Exploratorium Science Snack, you'll see how rings of various diameters react to vibration and external forces.

Sing - Suchomimus Was His Name
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 2 of PDF), learners sing together a song that gives details about the dinosaur species Suchomimus (pronounced “Sook-o-mime-us”).
Drip Drop
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners explore how water drops behave on different surfaces.

Scientific Measurement Exercise
Source Institutions
Learners measure irregularly shaped bones using a variety of measurement methods and tools. Then, they measure again using standard conventions and metric tape measures.
Making Rivers

Seasons and Shadows: Investigate How Shadows Shift Throughout the Year
Source Institutions
In this activity you'll see how the sun's tilt on its axis changes the length of shadows. For example, why is your shadow longer in winter than in summer?

Earth Art
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners will model land and water on the Earth's surface to make a unique piece of "Earth Art." Activity includes materials list, step-by-step instructions, STEM connections a
