Grades:
In this activity, students will 'become' water droplets and travel among the different storages of water.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will create their own windmills and test them in a wind created by a fan.
- K–5
Grades:
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.
- K–5
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will gain an understanding of the benefits and limitations of the structure of the human ear.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will learn the different techniques used to map the ocean, and will practice using those techniques themselves in the classroom.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will evaluate different 'before' and 'after' stations to decide if heating and cooling changes are reversible.
- K–5
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will observe how different beak types are suited to different environments.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will create their own windmills and test them against the models made by their classmates.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will make sound three ways: by blowing across the top of a bottle, tapping a glass, and running a finger around the rim of a glass.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students drop rubber balls in order to observe and measure the effects of elasticity. They use graphs to make predictions for further trials.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will test and observe the bouncing properties of different types of balls (softball, basketball, golf ball, playground ball, volleyball, beach ball, ball of paper).
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will investigate how a specific group of insects move, referred to in our lesson as the focus insects.
- K–5
Grades:
Students will use provided materials to develop a structure that will withstand movement in Earth.
- K–5
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
