Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, blindfolded students will use their sense of touch to organize materials according to texture.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will research ancient organisms and create a timeline showing when they appeared on Earth.
- 6–8
Grades:
In this activity, students will work in teams and use the approach of biomimicry to build an Adaptation Station that will enhance life for humans living in a specific environment.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will investigate how electricity and magnetism are closely related by building and testing their own electromagnets.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will explore the structures within a leaf where the process of photosynthesis occurs.
- K–5
Grades:
Students will investigate the relationship between quadratic functions and the parabolic path traveled by a ball in motion. Students will analyze data to understand the mathematical relationships that exist along the path of a ball in flight.
- 9–12
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:
In this activity, students will learn about the stars, planets, and Moon found in our solar system and how they relate to one another.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will paint craft spheres to resemble the Earth, moon and sun.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will investigate factors that influence the temperature of an isolated system and relate this to average kinetic energy and thermodynamic properties.
- 9–12
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 gain an understanding of the structure of the human eye and analyze and classify optical illusions.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will make their own weather station consisting of actual and simplified versions of real weather equipment.
- K–5
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:
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.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will compare samples of monomers and polymers in powder and thread form (sugar/cotton candy and cotton flock/cotton balls).
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will investigate different ways to move a ball.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will gain an understanding of the law of reflection by tracing the path that light travels, and designing a periscope to demonstrate understanding.
- K–5
