Special Effects: Titanic and Beyond
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how geometry plays a role in perspective.

Changing Shadows
Source Institutions
In this sunny day, outdoor activity, learners observe changes in shadows over time. The activity also helps to develop a sense of the Earth's motion.

Save Your Skin
Source Institutions
This is a fun activity about the power of the Sun and the importance of using sunscreen to protect your sensitive skin from its rays.

Roller Coaster Design
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Roller Coaster Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into g-force and acceleration.

Magic Inks
Source Institutions
Learners write their initials by applying different clear "magic ink" solutions to separate pieces of paper and then "develop" the inks with other clear solutions.

Fantastic Plastic
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the properties of plastic bags. Learners find out what happens when they slowly push a pencil through a plastic bag filled with water.

What-a-cycle
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners act as water molecules and travel through parts of the water cycle to discover that it is more complex than just water moving from the ground to the atmosphere.

Tune Booster
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build unique sound enhancing inventions with items from around the house to amplify sound from their smart phone's speakers.

Wilberforce Pendulum
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a Wilberforce Pendulum, a special coupled pendulum in which energy is transferred between two modes of vibration, longitudinal ("bounce') and torsional ("twist"), on a

Fun with Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, early learners combine pre-cut recognizable shapes and their own abstract ideas to make representational pictures (e.g. houses, trees, shoes).

Spaghetti Bridge
Source Institutions
Learners explore the field of civil engineering by making a bridge using spaghetti as their primary building material.

A Crayon Rock Cycle- Sedimentary
Source Institutions
This is part 1 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. In this activity, learners explore how sedimentary rocks form.
Balloon Surprise
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover a trick to release the air out of a balloon without popping it.

Slowing the Flow
Source Institutions
In this experiment, pairs of learners explore how cold water affects circulation. The mammalian diving reflex (MDR) slows circulation when the body is exposed to cold water.
Gelatin Optic Fibers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make optical fibers out of strips of gelatin.

Crystals: Grow Your Own Garden
Source Institutions
In this simple activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a crystal garden using salt, water, and a brick.

Frog Eggs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners compare frog eggs to chicken eggs to better understand why frog eggs need water. Learners compare a boiled chicken egg to "frog eggs" represented by boiled tapioca.

Weather Stations: Winds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a toaster to generate wind and compare the appliance's heat source to Jupiter's own hot interior. Learners discover that convection drives wind on Jupiter and on Earth.

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.

Structure of Matter: Pigment vs. Iridescence
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) about how visible light is affected by tiny nanoscale structures, producing iridescence on butterfly wings, soap bubbl
