Owl Pellets
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 7 of the PDF), learners will investigate the contents of owl pellets. Learners will discover how owls digest their food as well as the kind of animals they eat.
Find the Simple Machines
Source Institutions
This is a web activity about simple machines. Learners will explore a lawn mower and identify six different simple machines which work together to help make our lives easier.
Motion Madness: Choose the Winner
Source Institutions
This is an online game that explores speed, range and momentum. Learners will pick the winners in a 16-team tournament in 3 events: Tug-o-war, sprint, and marathon.
Bottle "Tops"
Source Institutions
In this physics activity about rotational inertia, learners use a spinning top made out of a bottle cap and a nail to explore how changing the axis of rotation affects how the energy is used.
Bones
Source Institutions
In this health activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will explore a unique connection betweeen the bones of the body.
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
Applying Math to Astronomy
Source Institutions
In this mathematics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore the relationship between the diameter and circumference of an object.
Are We Almost There?
Source Institutions
In this mathematics activity, learners use a map to determine the coordinates of and distance between two locations--both by road and "as the crow flies".
Hover Cup
Source Institutions
Is this activity concentrating on physical science, learners build their very own miniature hovercraft out of a paper cup. Using it, they can explore the concepts of friction and force.
You're Grounded
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners test the stability of towers they build out of cups, discovering that structures with more mass in the base are more stable.
Weightless Water
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will witness the effects of free fall by observing falling water, and will gain a better understanding of the concept of weightlessness.
Open Heart: Virtual Bypass Surgery
Source Institutions
In this online activity about heart disease, learners will, with the virtual help of an actual surgeon, watch a virtual bypass surgery.
No It's Snot
Source Institutions
In this health activity (on page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about the body‘s defenses against invasion from tiny particles.
Doppler Effect
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a tuning fork to explore how the Doppler effect works.
Static Spoons
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will explore how static electricity affects surrounding objects.
Ziploc Digestion Simulator
Source Institutions
In this biology activity, learners recreate the process of digestion in a zip lock bag. A bit of soda pop added to some crumbled crackers approximates how acids in the stomach dissolve food.
Frosty Glasses
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore why frost forms. They create their own frost using a solution of ice water and salt in a glass.
Handwriting Analysis
Source Institutions
In this forensics activity, students will explore the methods that investigators use to confirm the authenticity of handwriting.
Assemble the Human Heart
Source Institutions
In this online activity about anatomy, learners will drag and drop pieces of the heart into their proper positions and explore what function each part of the heart has.
Magnet Races
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore how similar magnetic poles repel one another. They will rely on linear induction to race magnets around a simple course.
