Irrigation Ideas
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how civil engineers solved the challenge of moving water via irrigation.

Give Me a Brake
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of how brakes can stop or slow mechanical motion.

How Our Environment Affects Color Vision
Source Institutions
In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.

When Pigs Fly
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore probability.

Wolf Limiting Factors
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate a wolf and its habitat and observe what happens when the limiting factors change over time.

Coral Snapshots: Biodiversity in Marine Protected Areas
Source Institutions
In this data activity, learners analyze data from coral reef snapshots taken by scientists at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.

Multitasking Mania
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct scientific research on multitasking. Learners determine if multitasking with media while doing homework affects their ability to successfully complete the homework.

Biological Succession in a Microecosystem
Source Institutions
This laboratory activity helps learners understand the concept of biological succession by simulating the process in a microenvironment with various protozoans.

Personal Fan
Source Institutions
Cool off in the heat with this project! Learners use simple materials to build a fan that runs on a motor.

To Topo Two
Source Institutions
In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

Science Cooks!
Source Institutions
In this health, cooking, and math activity, learners explore nutrition and examine nutrition labels.

Gummy Growth
Source Institutions
In this activity related to Archimedes' Principle, learners use water displacement to compare the volume of an expanded gummy bear with a gummy bear in its original condition.

Wet Art
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

That's the Way the Ball Bounces: Level 1
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, size, and bounce height.

What does Color have to do with Cooling?
Source Institutions
In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

Jay Play
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners find out the color of food that jays prefer and then try to change the birds' preference by altering the taste of the food with salt.

Doughy Physics
Source Institutions
Learners drop two different masses of play dough and observe how long it takes them to hit the ground.

Virtual Farm Management
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Farm Animals Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into raising livestock.

Clean It Up
Source Institutions
In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners get their hands dirty by playing in a container of soil. Then they compare the effectiveness of cleaning their hands with just a paper towel vs.

Traveling Nanoparticles Model
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity) about diffusion of small molecules across cell membranes.
