Radiohead
Source Institutions
When you teeth clatter, they make quite the racket disproportionately to how much they actually sound to someone else.
Paper Proteins
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use an origami template to design eight amino acids. Learners configure the amino acids to form a protein. Use this activity to introduce proteins and amino acids.
Pour Some: Measure Serving Size
Source Institutions
Make snack time into measuring time and learn to read Nutrition Facts labels. Try this when you’re using “pourable” foods, such as cereal, yoghurt, or juice.
Blink
Source Institutions
In this self-measuring activity, learners observe and record how many times a minute they blink, take a breath, and chew, as well as how many times a minute their heart beats.
Heart of the Matter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of valve operation and how engineers have adapted valves for use in mechanical heart valve design.
Smooth Operator
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore surgical instrument design. Teams of learners construct surgical instruments from everyday materials.
Viral Packaging
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create virus models, including nucleic acid and proteins, using simple materials. This resource includes information about virus structure and gene therapy.
Sweat Spot
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a chemical reaction to visualize where moisture forms on the body.
Chemical Methods of Control
Source Institutions
In this lab, learners evaluate the relative effectiveness of various chemical substances (i.e. garlic powder, bathroom cleaner, mouthwash, etc.) as antimicrobial agents.
Mirror, Mirror
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that it is difficult to trace a curve by using its reflection in a mirror. Use this activity to discuss how the brain works.
We all Scream for Ice Cream
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.
No bones about it!
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) about the mixture of materials in bone and how they affect its strength.
Hazardous Chemicals in Your Neighborhood
Source Institutions
In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine hazardous chemicals and their effects on human health and the environment.
Super Memory
Source Institutions
In this activity (pages 26-29 of the PDF), learners investigate how they can develop super memories by using mnemonic devices.
The Ups and Downs of Body Temperature
Source Institutions
In this activity (1st on the page), learners explore circadian rhythms by keeping track of their body temperature.
Stepping Out: Hop, Skip, Jump
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.
Sliding Gray Step
Source Institutions
How can you make one shade of gray look like two? By putting it against two different color backgrounds! This activity allows learners to perform this sleight of hand very easily.
Elephant Foot
Source Institutions
Using a real-size sketch of a baby elephant's footprint, learners estimate, measure and record the width (diameter) and outside edge length (perimeter or circumference) of the footprint.
Reaction Time
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore reaction time and challenge themselves to improve their coordination. Do you want to move faster? Catch that ball that you never seem to see in time?
