Grades:
In this activity, students will explore light travel and how it is redirected with the use of mirrors.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity students will examine the relationships between the organisms within an ecosystem and how changes that affect one affect the others.
- K–5
Grades:
Students will use geometric shapes to design a unique three-dimensional object that has an everyday use.
- 9–12
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
In this activity, students will gain an understanding of how different senses affect a human's ability to balance.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will take on the role of organisms in various environments as they discover the concept of interdependence in ecosystems.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will make their own weather station.
- 6–8
Grades:
In this activity, students will create a simple model of Earth as a magnet.
- 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 evaluate water ice balloons to reconstruct recent climate history by sorting different layers of evidence.
- K–5
Grades:
In this activity, students will gain an understanding of the value of using a scale model and the effect of water speed on erosion rate and stream formation.
- K–5
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:
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.
- 9–12
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
Funded by The Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation
Grades:
Students will learn the power of bacteria and how it can be helpful in our bodies.
- 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 gain an understanding of performing a controlled experiment and how different variables affect the distance travelled by a stomp rocket.
- K–5
- 6–8
Grades:
After learning about the amount of paper that the United States uses every year, students will observe how homemade recycled paper is made. Upon examining the result, students will be challenged to refine this process in order to produce a paper product.
- 9–12
Grades:
Students will design one or more unique levels of a maze game using a free online coding program.
