Elastic Powered Car
In this activity, students will make a car powered by an elastic engine, and thus kinetic energy. Rather than converting chemical potential energy to kinetic energy, this car converts elastic potential energy to kinetic energy.
Crystal Trees and Gardens
In this activity, students see dissolved substances come out of prepared solution.
Create a Creature
In this activity, students create their own specialized animal that lives in a specific imaginary environment.
Come-Back Can
In this activity, students make a Tin Can Toy with a secret mechanism, while exploring kinetic energy. When you roll a Tin Can Toy away, it comes rolling back!
Candles
Students explore the melting and solidification of wax. They observe wax as it is heated and cooled, and make observations about this substance as it changes from a solid to a liquid, and back again.
Butterfly Feeders
In this activity, students make simple butterfly feeders to encourage butterflies to visit their garden.
Burglar Alarm
In this activity students will make a burglar alarm that they can use to protect something precious to them.
Bullfrog Caller
In this activity, students use their knowledge of vibrations and sound to mimic the sound of a bullfrog.
Bird Feeders
In this activity, students build a bird feeder to attract common bird species to their homes.
Biodegradable Seedling Pots
In this activity, students build a biodegradable pot and plant seeds inside.
