Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students create an acid-based indicator using red cabbage extract.
- 6–8
Grades:
In this activity students will experiment with how far sound travels naturally, as compared to how far it travels with satellite amplification.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will use paper chromatography to separate the colors in the dyes used to color candies.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will build a Cartesian diver and discover how compression and changes in density cause the diver to mysteriously move up and down.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will examine how the Earth's land surface is affected by water in its different forms.
- K–5
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will identify specific physical traits of adult plants and animals that are passed on to their offspring.
- K–5
Grades:
Students will construct a coin battery and measure its voltage output. They will compare their battery’s voltage to that of traditional AA/AAA batteries and consider modifications to their battery so it produces enough power to light up an LED bulb.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will work together to evaluate the effects of collaborative efforts between doctors and robotic technology that is providing advancements in the healthcare atmosphere.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will construct color wheels and spin them to see that light colors combine to form new colors.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will observe how ice melts on wood and metal blocks, and they will draw conclusions about how heat conducts through different materials.
- 6–8
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will learn about the parts of an insect and their function and then will design and build their ultimate insect.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will observe animals that evoke fear and then map out their role in a food web.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will examine the need for seeds to have sunlight in order to grow.
- K–5
Grades:
Help students learn that radiation exists all around people both in natural and manmade ways in this activity. Students will use digital and/or print resources to learn about ionizing and non-ionizing radiation along with the benefits/risks associated.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students build simple circuits to investigate the conductivity of solutions.
- K–5
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
After learning about the field of epidemiology and what the term “patient zero” means, students will participate in a whole group simulation that shows how quickly infectious diseases can be spread and work as a class to determine patient zero.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will learn how waves, wind, water and glaciers all break rock and soil into smaller particles and move them around.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will investigate how electricity and magnetism are closely related by building and testing their own electromagnets.
- 9–12
