- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will investigate how robots work including robotic parts and explain how energy is transferred to make different parts move.
- 9–12
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity students will examine fruits and vegetables in order to figure out which ones are really fruits, and what types of fruits they really are.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will examine and sketch various trace fossils from an unknown creature and then construct an image of the creature that they believe produced these fossils.
- K–5
Grades:
Students will investigate the relationship between friction and motion by building a simple hovercraft.
- 9–12
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will gain an understanding of how different senses affect a human's ability to balance.
- K–5
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will explore the five senses by performing a variety of activities.
- 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
Grades:
Students will use geometric shapes to design a unique three-dimensional object that has an everyday use.
- 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
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:
Students will learn about the vastness of opportunities in the engineering field by studying more in-depth about 2-3 specific careers, exposing them to new career paths they might consider.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will investigate how the changes in potential energy produce a change in kinetic energy. By conducting a lab investigation, students will experiment using a pull-back toy car to gather data, make calculations and draw conclusions about the change
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students build simple circuits to investigate the conductivity of solutions.
- 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:
Students will conduct research to learn about the innovative and less invasive approach of using drones to study animals within their natural habitats. Using the Depth and Complexity framework, students will engage in an in-depth understanding of how tech
- 9–12
Grades:
Students explore the basic components of vehicle design and learn about the conditions affecting Mars rovers. They design an improved Mars rover by defining a problem and proposing a solution in the form of improved design elements.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will “mash up” an assigned product with one design influence from nature and present the product design to their peers using a free CAD software (such as Google Sketch).
