Modeling Mendel's Pea Experiment
National Health MuseumAdd to list DetailsThis modeling activity allows learners to discover for themselves what Mendel uncovered in his famous pea experiments. By modeling Mendel's pea experiments, learners will form their own...
Finding the Carbon in Sugar
BioEdAdd to list DetailsIn this activity about combustion and energy, learners observe a burning candle in a sealed jar and the burning of white sugar. The first part of the activity (candle burning) should be conducted...
Moving Without Wheels
Integrated Teaching and Learning Program, College of Engineering, University of Colorado at BoulderAdd to list DetailsIn a class demonstration, learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport. When polluted water evaporates, the pollutants remain behind, becoming...
Clap Sensor: Build a Sound Sensor Using a Pico Cricket
Science Museum of MinnesotaAdd to list DetailsThis activity requires a Pico Cricket (tiny computer). Learners work on designing and building a sound sensor out of household materials, like plastic wrap and cardboard. This will connect with the...
For Your Eyes Only
Integrated Teaching and Learning Program, College of Engineering, University of Colorado at BoulderAdd to list DetailsLearners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air. They place the collectors in various test sites and observe them over a...
Landfill in a Bottle
Association of Zoos and AquariumsAdd to list DetailsIn this activity, learners discover how landfills affect the natural environment. By observing a 2-liter bottle filled with household garbage over a month, learners can estimate how long it takes...
Recycling Rules: Understanding Recycling and a MRF
New York Hall of ScienceAdd to list DetailsIn this activity, learners simulate the separation techniques that materials recovery facilities (MRFs) use and then design their own series of recycling techniques. Learners identify four ways...
I Can't Take the Pressure!
Integrated Teaching and Learning Program, College of Engineering, University of Colorado at BoulderAdd to list DetailsLearners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities. They model the magnitude of air pressure as gravitational force per unit area, and they use cookie wafers to model how...
