In this activity, students will build a simple solar cooker, make observations and qualitatively describe the melting rate of a piece of chocolate in the cooker.
In this investigation, students will design three different circuit arrangements with a switch capable of lighting a small light bulb. They will use the results of this investigation to determine the best configuration for wiring holiday lights.
In this activity, students will examine the behavior of different types of solids when they are dissolved in water and explain those behaviors by examining the properties of the solids.
Students will examine two different techniques for mapping different aspects of the ocean, and will model those techniques on a small scale in the classroom.
In this activity, students will learn the different techniques used to map the ocean, and will practice using those techniques themselves in the classroom.
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.
In this activity, students will investigate how robots work including robotic parts and explain how energy is transferred to make different parts move.
