Physics

Magic of Density

Students will explore density by modifying the density of liquids, observing the density of different solids, and observing the density differences between objects that occupy the same volume by comparing varieties of pop. Mass over volume is the message!

Biology Volunteer Activities

All That Fat

In this activity, we will learn about how natural adaptations, like fat, can help animals survive in polar regions.

Physics Volunteer Activities

Elasticity - Rubber Band Bungee Jump

The objective of this activity is to be able to drop the object, and have it get as close to the ground as possible without it actually touching, much like with actual bungee jumping.

Earth & Environmental Science Volunteer Activities

Buzzing Bees - Exploring Pollination

This is a fun, interactive activity to help students understand the process of cross-pollination!

Mathematics

How Many Students?

Students explore statistics by collecting data of their classmates names and seeing whether or not female or male names are longer.

Health Sciences

Nervous System - Neuron Highway

Students will send a ''message'', a piece of paper attached to an unmodified paper clip, along a string to demonstrate how the nervous system work.

Physics Volunteer Activities

Penny Drops

Students will explore surface tension and how water molecules stick together to form a drop of water by dropping water onto a penny or any other small coin.

Health Sciences

Circulation

In this activity, participants will explore the functioning of their circulatory system and how different activity levels impact it!

Astronomy and Space Science Volunteer Activities

What is your weight on another planet?

Perform a simple calculation to see how gravity affects your weight.

Earth & Environmental Science Volunteer Activities

Daily and Seasonal Changes

Students learn about daily and seasonal changes through group discussion, songs, drawing and interactive demonstrations.

Information Technology Volunteer Activities

The Dots

Students learn about how data in computers is stored and transmitted as a series of zeros and ones and complete an activity to represent words and numbers using just these two symbols.

Chemistry Volunteer Activities

Solids, liquids, and gases - Additional activities

Try out some additional activities that explore solids, liquids and gases!

Biology Volunteer Activities

Butterfly Life Cycle - Preschool/Kindergarten

This activity introduces pre-school / kindergarten aged students to the different steps in the life cycle of a butterfly from egg, to caterpillar, to chrystalis / cocoon, to butterfly. The students also get to create and take home a butterfly or caterpillar craft.

Biology Volunteer Activities

Cell City

This activity explores the structures of plant and animal cells via a dramatic skit, a matching activity, and creating a 3D model.

Physics Volunteer Activities

Fantastic Forces

During this activity, the participants complete four different tasks to learn about five forces - gravity, friction, magnetism, static electricity and buoyancy.
