Wheat Evolution: Sedimentation Testing
Source Institutions
In this activity (Page 30 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by conducting sedimentation tests on different flours.
Defining Density
Source Institutions
In this introductory demonstration and activity, learners are introduced to the concept of density as they explore a rock and a wooden block in water.
Free Fall
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hockey), learners will use a simple physics of motion and gravity demonstration to test their predicting skills.
Why Doesn’t the Ocean Freeze?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.
It's a Gas, Man
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.
Do Cities Affect the Weather?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.
Rate of Solution Demonstration
Source Institutions
In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the factors that increase the rate of dissolution for a solid.
Red, White and Blue I Demonstration
Source Institutions
In this chemistry demonstration, learners observe a chemical reaction that produces a colorful effect.
Weather Stations: Phase Change
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe the water cycle in action! Water vapor in a tumbler condenses on chilled aluminum foil — producing the liquid form of water familiar to us as rain and dew.
How Do We Convert Electrical Energy into Mechanical Energy?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make an electromagnet motor to demonstrate the most basic method of changing electrical energy into mechanical energy.
Floating Candles
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners observe a combustion reaction and deduce the components necessary for the reaction to occur.
Enzyme Action
Source Institutions
In this activity that can be used as a lab or demonstration, learners use Lactaid® and lactose to demonstrate the concept of enzyme action.
Does Air Weigh Anything?
Source Institutions
The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.
Sea Level: On The Rise
Source Institutions
Learners will understand the relationship between climate change and sea-level rise.
If Hot Air Rises, Why is it Cold in the Mountains?
Source Institutions
This demonstration/activity helps learners understand why higher elevations are not always warm simply because "hot air rises." Learners use a tire pump to increase the pressure and temperature inside
Balloon in a Bottle
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will see firsthand that air takes up space and has pressure by attempting to inflate a balloon inside of a bottle.
The Nose Knows
Source Institutions
In this activity (2nd activity on the page), learners explore how the nose is responsible for part of the flavor we taste in food.
What is a “Convection Cell”?
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners can observe a number of small convection cells generated from a mixture of aluminum powder and silicon oil on a hot plate.
Solar Energy
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 11 of PDF), learners compare the air pressure within a dark and a light bottle both heated by the sun, and discover that solar energy can be collected and stored in many ways
Wheat Evolution: Dough Rising and Baking
Source Institutions
In this activity (Page 25 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by creating dough from different flours, observing the samples of dough as they rise, and then baking the dough.
