Before and After

  • Energy
Grades:
  • K–5
 Level: 1
In this activity, students will evaluate different 'before' and 'after' stations to decide if heating and cooling changes are reversible.
  • Engineering

Blowin' in the Wind

  • Manufacturing
Grades:
  • K–5
 Level: 2
In this activity, students will create their own windmills and test them against the models made by their classmates.
  • Technology

Bottle Music

  • Manufacturing
Grades:
  • K–5
 Level: 2
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.
  • Science

Bouncing Properties

  • Energy
Grades:
  • K–5
 Level: 2
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).
  • Science

Can You Hear Me Now?

  • Energy
Grades:
  • K–5
 Level: 3
In this activity students will experiment with how far sound travels naturally, as compared to how far it travels with satellite amplification.
  • Science

Candy Chromatography

  • Manufacturing
Grades:
  • K–5
 Level: 3
In this activity, students will use paper chromatography to separate the colors in the dyes used to color candies.
  • Science

Cartesian Diver

  • Manufacturing
Grades:
  • K–5
 Level: 2
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.
  • Science

Color Wheel

  • IT
Grades:
  • K–5
 Level: 3
In this activity, students will construct color wheels and spin them to see that light colors combine to form new colors.
  • Science

Cool It!

  • Energy
Grades:
  • 6–8
 Level: 1
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.
  • Science

Electro-Lights

  • Energy
Grades:
  • K–5
 Level: 4
In this activity, students build simple circuits to investigate the conductivity of solutions.
  • Science

Gliding On Air

  • Energy
Grades:
  • K–5
 Level: 4
In this activity, students will gain an understanding of how a simple hovercraft uses the forces of motion to move.
  • Science

Hang Time

  • Energy
Grades:
  • K–5
 Level: 2
In this activity teams design, build, and test paper helicopters to observe a relationship between blade surface area and descent rate.
  • Engineering

Hole-in-One

  • Manufacturing
Grades:
  • K–5
 Level: 3

  • Math

Ice Wars

  • Energy
Grades:
  • K–5
 Level: 4
