Grades:
In this activity, students will learn about the elements in the periodic table and how to interpret the information for each element.
- K–5
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will help solve a "crime" by attempting to match fingerprints from their classmates to the scene of a (fictional) crime.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will build a device that can carry a small ball from the top of a two-meter zip line to the bottom in less than six seconds.
- 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
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
Grades:
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.
- 6–8
Grades:
In this activity, students will examine the need for seeds to have sunlight in order to grow.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will learn that plants and animals have common needs.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students learn that plants acquire their material for growth chiefly from air and water rather than from soil.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will evaluate water ice balloons to reconstruct recent climate history by sorting different layers of evidence.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will use shadows to demonstrate that Earth is moving, not the sun.
- K–5
Grades:
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.
- 6–8
Grades:
In this activity, students will compare two forces of energy on the motion, velocity, and direction of an object.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will explore the structures within a leaf where the process of photosynthesis occurs.
- K–5
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will examine several foods in different categories (e.g., animal, human and plant food/soil).
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will investigate different ways to move a ball.
- K–5
