ANTacid: Indicator Paper on an Anthill
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make acid/base indicator paper, place the indicator paper on an anthill, disturb a bunch of ants, and then observe what happens!
Static Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use static elecricity to bend a stream of water without touching it. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.
Radiohead
Source Institutions
When you teeth clatter, they make quite the racket disproportionately to how much they actually sound to someone else.
Ramp it Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.
Shrinking Polymers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that some plastics will shrink when you get them hot. Learners bake polystyrene in a regular oven and discover what happens.
Can Energy be Created or Destroyed?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.
Water Cycle in a Bag
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore the water cycle by creating a small atmosphere.
Eyedropper Hydrometer: Buoy your understanding of density
Source Institutions
Build a hydrometer (measures the density of a liquid) using a pipet or eyedropper.
Physics in the Toy Room: Toppling Towers
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners use square blocks to explore how towers fall. Learners attach a piece of string to the side of a block and then construct a tall tower on top of this base block.
Canned Heat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.
Personal Pinhole Theater
Source Institutions
Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!
Glowing Tonic
Source Institutions
In this sunny day activity, learners compare how a cup of water and a cup of tonic water reflect or refract light in the sun.
Paper Proteins
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use an origami template to design eight amino acids. Learners configure the amino acids to form a protein. Use this activity to introduce proteins and amino acids.
Pour Some: Measure Serving Size
Source Institutions
Make snack time into measuring time and learn to read Nutrition Facts labels. Try this when you’re using “pourable” foods, such as cereal, yoghurt, or juice.
Burning Issues
Source Institutions
Learners use a candle to investigate the products of combustion. When a glass rod is held over a lit candle, the candle flame deposits carbon on the rod.
Circles or Ovals?
Source Institutions
This science activity demonstrates the dominant eye phenomena. What does your brain do when it sees two images that conflict?
Chocolate (Sea Floor) Lava
Source Institutions
In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.
Pepper Scatter
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners break the tension that happens when water develops a "skin." Learners use water, pepper and some soap to discover the wonders of surface tension—the force that attract
Music and Sound
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Music and Sound) is a full inquiry investigation into sound frequency.
Afterimage
Source Institutions
In this activity about light and perception, learners discover how a flash of light can create a lingering image called an "afterimage" on the retina of the eye.
