Macromodel of Microarray
Source Institutions
This is an educator-led demonstration of microarray technology using a model created from a pizza box and ping-pong balls.
What Causes Pressure?
Source Institutions
In this kinesthetic activity that demonstrates pressure, learners act as air molecules in a "container" as defined by a rope.
Cook Up a Comet
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.
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.
Shake and Make: Charge Recognition
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 10), learners explore how molecules self-assemble according to forces of attraction and repulsion.
A Pressing Engagement
Source Institutions
In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate the effect of the weight of air over our heads.
Nanoparticle Stained Glass
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo, learners are introduced to the connection between medieval stained glass artisans and nanotechnology.
Sink It
Source Institutions
Learners classify a variety of objects by their characteristics. They then design an experiment to determine which objects float or sink in water and add this characteristic to their classification.
History of Electricity
Source Institutions
This is a series of demonstrations about different electrical and magnetic phenomena.
Bernoulli and More Bernoulli
Source Institutions
This lesson guide includes six simple and quick activities to help learners better understand Bernoulli's Principle.
The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 2
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause
Water Fountain
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how a hydraulic pump works. Learners work in teams to design and build a unique water fountain that employs a hydraulic pump.
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.
How Do We Convert Mechanical Energy into Electrical Energy?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a compass, powerful magnet, and copper magnet wire to build a special generator known as a dynamo.
Card Flip Magic: Error Detection & Correction
Source Institutions
This magic trick is based on how computers detect and correct data errors.
What's the Difference between Weather and Climate?
Source Institutions
In this interactive and informative group activity, learners use packages of M&M's to illustrate the difference between weather and climate.
Big Things Come in Little Packages
Source Institutions
As a group, learners investigate three packages which are all the same size and shape, but have different contents. One is filled with foam, one is filled with wood, and one is filled with metal.
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
Examining the Heart
Source Institutions
In this activity about the heart (on page 22 of the PDF), learners examine sheep or chicken hearts to learn about the heart's structure and the flow of blood through the heart.
