Grades:
In this activity, students will explore the nature of human hearing by attempting to determine the location of coins dropping at different locations in a room.
- K–5
Grades:
Students will use a life cycle audit to evaluate a product’s environmental impact on society by proposing design changes in order to reduce the negative impact it could have.
- 9–12
Grades:
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.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will create a model of a sloped hillside using sand and simulate conditions that can cause a landslide to occur.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will gain an understanding of magnetic fields and magnetic forces.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will learn about thermal energy.
- K–5
Grades:
Students will learn the positives and negative effects stress can have on the body. They will also learn the importance of managing their stress levels and practical tips for overall balance, health and wellbeing.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will use a topographic map of their school grounds to identify geologic features using a printed map.
- K–5
Grades:
In this lesson, students will work in teams to design a pair of headphones specifically for children under three.
