Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will participate in a leaf scavenger hunt and assemble a basic leaf collection.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will explore the structures within a leaf where the process of photosynthesis occurs.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students use a stream table to model the processes of erosion and streambed formation.
- K–5
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
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.
- 9–12
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
Students model how a medication is filtered from the blood using colored water. They make predictions about how much medicine remains in a person’s system over time by comparing their predictions to observed data.
- 9–12
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
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will participate in a scavenger hunt with their peers to classify inherited and learned traits.
- K–5
Grades:
Students will work in small groups to investigate constraints of starting a business. Each group will be assigned a specific constraint. Small groups will then write a linear inequality and graph the inequality on a group capture sheet.
