Grades:
In this activity, students will construct color wheels and spin them to see that light colors combine to form new colors.
- 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:
Students will design one or more unique levels of a maze game using a free online coding program.
- 9–12
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will learn about the parts of an insect and their function and then will design and build their ultimate insect.
- K–5
Grades:
Description: Students consider the benefits and tradeoffs of using credit and learn about the role interest plays in using credit cards. Then, they create an equation that describes the length of time it takes to pay off a debt.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will observe animals that evoke fear and then map out their role in a food web.
- K–5
Grades:
Students will investigate the technological application of quantum effects in cyber security.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will examine the need for seeds to have sunlight in order to grow.
- K–5
Grades:
Students will “mash up” an assigned product with one design influence from nature and present the product design to their peers using a free CAD software (such as Google Sketch).
- 9–12
Grades:
Students explore the basic components of vehicle design and learn about the conditions affecting Mars rovers. They design an improved Mars rover by defining a problem and proposing a solution in the form of improved design elements.
- 9–12
Grades:
Help students learn that radiation exists all around people both in natural and manmade ways in this activity. Students will use digital and/or print resources to learn about ionizing and non-ionizing radiation along with the benefits/risks associated.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students build simple circuits to investigate the conductivity of solutions.
- K–5
Grades:
Students will learn about the vastness of opportunities in the engineering field by studying more in-depth about 2-3 specific careers, exposing them to new career paths they might consider.
- 9–12
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
After learning about the field of epidemiology and what the term “patient zero” means, students will participate in a whole group simulation that shows how quickly infectious diseases can be spread and work as a class to determine patient zero.
- 9–12
Grades:
In this activity, students will learn how waves, wind, water and glaciers all break rock and soil into smaller particles and move them around.
- K–5
Grades:
Students will use geometric shapes to design a unique three-dimensional object that has an everyday use.
- 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
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will explore the five senses by performing a variety of activities.
- K–5
