In this activity, learners repeat patterns in two and three dimensions to create tessellations.

In this experience, learners use the internet to research physical details about Chihuly's Fireworks of Glass "Tower" and "Ceiling" and consider the decisions Chihuly had to make as he was planning th

This activity is about the mural making process done about 9,000 years ago in Catalhoyuk, Turkey.

In this activity, learners create a traditional Mexican noisemaker (a matraca) using cardboard, craft sticks, and a wooden dowel.

Cardboard Automata are a playful way to explore simple machine elements while creating a mechanical sculpture.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.

In this outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.

In this activity (posted on March 27, 2011), learners follow the steps to construct a mini zoetrope, a device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures.

In this two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

Learners will follow a specific process to make their own paper using scrap paper, newspaper, or junk mail.

In this activity (page 5 of pdf), learners explore the relationships between the shape and structure of a shark's teeth and the food it eats, and then create their own shark tooth from clay.

In this physics activity, learners build a toy with a figure that spins around like a gymnast on the high bar.

Make a one-string "guitar" by stringing a cup with some fishing line. You amplify the plucking of the string by placing a piezo contact microphone and mini battery powered amplifier inside the cup.

In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

In this activity (page 4 of the pdf), learners build a model of a tide pool, using chicken wire, paper mache, and other craft materials.

In this activity, learners discover that some things only stand up while they are spinning.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Music and Sound) is a full inquiry investigation into sound frequency.

This activity (on pages 19-24) introduces learners to the rain forest's layers—emergent, canopy, understory, and forest floor—and has learners make paper lianas (vines that live attached to trees) and

In this math lesson, learners make estimates to analyze the number of apples per acre, and visualize the magnitude of one million.
