Sciencenter
Sink or Float
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make predictions and experiment with different objects to see if they sink or float.
Measuring with Flubber
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will measure and manipulate flubber using different tools. Learners will explore volume and make observations about texture and shapes.
Using Tools and Melting Ice
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will experiment with different materials that can melt and change ice.
Feather Rockets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make and launch feather rockets. Lerners will use science process skils such as making predictions and measuring while launching the rockets.
Magnetic Sensory Bottles
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will investigate magnetic and non-magnetic items in a sensory bottle.
Animal Tape Rescue
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will "rescue" animals from tape and then sort the animals. Learners will use science process skills such as categorizing and making observations while they play.
Block Neighborhood
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will build a neighborhood out of blocks and cardboard.
Chromatography Observations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how water affects marker on filter paper. Learners will use science process skills such as making observations and predictions as they explore color.
Water Drop Exploration
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will explore how water moves on waxed paper. Learners will use science process skills such as using tools and making observations as they explore surface tension.
Block Bowling
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will build structures out of blocks and then roll balls to try to knock them down.
