Tiny Tubes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make "totally tubular" forms of carbon. Learners use chicken wire to build macro models of carbon nanotubes.
Pulleys
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build inexpensive pulley assemblies from pulley wheels used for sliding screen door replacement or from clothesline spreaders.
Whose Fault Is It?
Source Institutions
In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.
How Big is Small
Source Institutions
In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.
Cylinders and Scale
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the relative growth of lengths, areas, and volumes as cylinders are scaled up.
Paper Tape Motion Timer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a recording timer made from simple materials (e.g., small dc motor, sharpie pen, craft sticks, adding machine paper tape, etc.).
Oil Spot Photometer
Source Institutions
In this math activity related to light, learners assemble a photometer and use it to estimate the power output of the Sun.
