A must to include in your science lesson plans. Students assemble an easily built spectroscope that allows them to separate incoming light into its component colors, forming a light spectrum (rainbow).
Students build a "vehicle" designed to prevent a dropped egg from breaking. In the process, they discover that combining simple materials with a little creative thinking and teamwork will reveal many ways to solve this intriguing challenge!
A teaching resource to demonstrate the science of motion and forces like friction and air pressure, where students create a simple hovercraft that will gracefully glide along on a thin cushion of air.
A variety of scientific and gravity "defying" demonstrations can be done by combining pill and ring magnets in unique ways to create a multipurpose demo unit.
Create and decorate a "critter" whose moves are powered by sunlight. To vary the critter's movements explore making changes to the swinging "proboscis."
Students learn how to measure biodiversity in terms of species richness (the number of species living in a particular area) by sampling "species" in a simulated ecosystem and graphing and analyzing data.
