Mercury in the Environment
Source Institutions
In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.

Statistics: Wet Heads
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners learn how to construct stem and leaf plots. Learners first estimate the number of drops of water that will fit on the head of a penny.
Investigating Density Currents
Source Institutions
In this lab activity, learners explore how to initiate a density current. Learners measure six flasks with different concentrations of salt and water (colored blue).

Inverse Functions: Pennies, Pressure, Temperature, and Light
Source Institutions
The major goal of this math lesson is to have learners collect data from a variety of experiments, determine what models best fits their data, and explain why their models are best.

Linear Functions: Mystery Liquids
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners analyze the density of liquids in order to explore linear functions.

Polynomial and Rational Functions: Building Boxes
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore polynomial and rational function patterns.

How Do We Convert Electrical Energy into Mechanical Energy?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make an electromagnet motor to demonstrate the most basic method of changing electrical energy into mechanical energy.

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.

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.

Multi-Variable Relations: Stressed to the Breaking Point
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore the relationship between the thickness of a spaghetti bridge, the length of the bridge, and the amount of weight that can be supported by the bridge.

Applesauce
Source Institutions
In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 109: The Perfect Pancake, learners make applesauce to explore irreversible change.

Measurement: Sand Babies
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore and investigate measurement using standard and non-standard units.

Measurement: It Takes Ten
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners practice estimation and measurement skills as they move from station to station calculating length, volume, weight, and area.
Investigating Convection
Source Institutions
This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

Algebra: Aw Chute!
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners determine and compare the rate of descent of various learner-constructed parachutes. Learners construct parachutes that will have maximum hang times.

Rates of Change: Bottles and Divers
Source Institutions
In this math lesson (page 2 of the PDF), learners use bottles of various shapes to explore the abstract concept of rate of change.

Friction Racing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the unseen force of friction and how surfaces can slow moving objects at different rates.

Sunblock Investigation
Source Institutions
In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners set up a simple experiment to find out how sunscreen counteracts the effects of the sun.
