Just a Minute
Source Institutions
How much can you do in one minute? In this activity, learners estimate how many times a partner can complete a task (like writing their name or jumping jacks) in one minute.
Self-Assembly Game
Source Institutions
This is a quick game about self-assembly (page 2 of PDF under Self-Assembly Activity). Like the molecules of DNA, learners will self-assemble into a pattern by following a simple set of rules.
Odd or Even
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners play a game and try to collect the most cards by guessing if the next number to appear will be odd or even.
Knee Jerk Reflex (Patellar Reflex)
Source Institutions
In this quick and simple activity about reflexes (third activity on the page), learners conduct a simple test to explore the knee jerk reflex, typically conducted at the doctor's office.
Telephone Talk
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners find patterns in telephone numbers.
Model Well
Source Institutions
In this quick activity about pollutants and groundwater (page 2 of PDF under Water Clean-up Activity), learners build a model well with a toilet paper tube.
Afterimage
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners investigate afterimages.
Toothpick Patterns
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners make toothpick designs by following simple patterns.
Growing Plants
Source Institutions
In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 107: My Shrinking Shoes, learners observe how plants change as they grow.
Tip Topper
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners role-play as wait staff at the Kidtropolis Diner. It's the end of the night and it's time for the staff to collect their tips.
Achi: A Strange Game of Tic Tac Toe
Source Institutions
In this game, learners strategize to be the first player to make three in a row.
Hot Spoons
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of thermal conductivity and learn the differences between high and low thermal conductivity.
An Object in Motion
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page nine of the pdf), learners use balloons to explore how a rocket works. It is suggested they also work to see how they can alter the velocity of the rocket.
Peripheral Vision
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore peripheral vision. Learners collect data about their ability to see shapes, colors, or letters using their peripheral vision.
Moving Molecules!
Source Institutions
In this activity about molecular diffusion (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity), learners will make predictions and move molecules of iodine through a seemingly solid plastic sandw
Full of Hot Air: Hot Air Balloon Building
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a model of a hot air balloon using tissue paper and a hairdryer. Educators can use this activity to introduce learners to density and its role in why things float.
Frustrations with Fractions
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners make a set of fraction cards to play a game that will help relieve their fraction frustrations.
Frozen Fruit
Source Institutions
In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 108: My Ice Pops, learners observe reversible change while thinking about ways to make ice melt.
Gecko Feet
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Gecko Feet Activity) about modeling a nanoscale phenomenon (gravity-defying gecko feet) with macroscale objects (shoes).
Paper Airplane Contest
Source Institutions
In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.
