From Here to There is an interactive touch-based application that allows students to dynamically interact with numbers and expressions. Rather than solving a problem by hand and typing in the answer, students can transform expressions or equations by dragging or breaking apart the number. These activities provide access to the rewarding and playful challenges of algebra and equation solving.
At National Grid, safety is in our DNA. To help promote electric safety, we created a seven-minute version of our electric live line safety demonstration. How much do you know about electricity safety?
This activity is related to the lift force.
You only need a piece of paper to try it!
This activity is related to electrostatic force.
You will need: A water bottle, 2 straws and a paper towel.
In this activity, we will demonstrate the essence of mixing through an activity of blending a couple of colored dough balls. You will learn how blending these balls can be accomplished by simply following the fundamental actions of mixing processes: repeated stretching and folding.
Turning on the faucet, you receive water for washing your hands or taking a shower. How convenient! Modern technology allows for transporting water to your home from a reservoir far away from your home through pipes. Do you know how water is transported through pipe? Do you know how the geometries of the pipes affect the efficiency of water transport? In this activity, you will learn about the principle of pipe flow through a water gun activity. We will guide you to build a water gun with different gun lengths and experience the effect of gun lengths (or more specifically, pipe lengths) on shooting the water to the target.
Want to learn more about physics from the comfort of your own home? All you need is a ruler and your thinking cap! Watch Professor Kafle demonstrate this interesting phenomenon that seems like magic but is actually just physics. All you need to participate is a ruler with a smooth surface.
Follow along as Jessica builds a wearable exoskeleton hand from straws, string and paper! The hand will be a model of the bones and tendons in your phalanges and will move as you pull on the strings!
Simulate the 3D food printing process through a simple activity, and compare your results to a real 3D food printer!
