Motion Picture
Source Institutions
During this hands-on activity, learners are briefly exposed to moviemaking and animation, when they create their own thaumatropes.

Mirror, Mirror
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test the Law of Reflection based on experimental evidence. Learners produce raw data and explanations based on their data: pencil tracings of incident and reflection rays.

Light Soda
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners sublimate dry ice and then taste the carbon dioxide gas.

Go Fly a Kite
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, children create their own kites that can fly indoors. Learners are exposed to basic concepts of gravity and air resistance.

Static Friction Prediction
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Kinetic Sculpture Challenge Activity), learners will predict which objects have to overcome the most static friction to slide down a ramp.

It's All In The Wrist
Source Institutions
This is an activity about circular motion. Learners will explore the laws of motion and force by observing circular motion.
Tsunami: Waves of Destruction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use tsunami time travel maps to predict how long it will take a tsunami to reach the shore.

Rubber Band Racers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the design of rubber band powered cars. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own rubber band cars out of everyday items.

Do a Spacewalk!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners train to increase muscular strength and improve upper and lower body coordination by performing the “bear crawl” and the "crab walk.” Learners perform the exercises over tim

Stereo Sound
Source Institutions
We listen to stereo music systems, tv's, and radios because it simulates being where the sound originates.

Sea Level: On The Rise
Source Institutions
Learners will understand the relationship between climate change and sea-level rise.

Drinking Straw Oboe
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Music and Sound), learners will construct an oboe-like instrument from a plastic drinking straw by cutting the end to split it into t

Electric Gelatin
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore static electricity and electrical charges while experimenting with an inflated balloon, unflavored gelatin powder, and a wool sweater.

Color Splash
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix water, cooking oil, and liquid food coloring to create beautiful colored designs in a cup. Use this activity to explore liquid density and solubility.

Got Gas?
Source Institutions
Create gas with a glass of water, some wire, conductors and a battery! You will be separating water (H2O) into oxygen and hydrogen.

Globe at Night
Source Institutions
In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

Snake Kite
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore the physics of air by making a snake kite.

EEEEK--A Mouse!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering solved the problem of human/computer interface.

Simple Spinner
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a tiny electric, motorized dancer. Learners use the interactions of magnetism and electric current to make a wire spin, while displaying the Lorentz Force in action.

Periscope
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to look over ledges or around corners.
