Build your own version of a favorite carnival game, in which a marble races down a maze consisting of rows of nails.

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

In this activity, learners act as epidemiologists by mapping the prevalence of HIV/AIDS worldwide.

This activity (on pages 13-18) has learners build a model tree and then figure out how to make their tree stand up by itself.

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 build a machine made of craft sticks to multiply the levering motion of their hands and create a device that bends and extends.

In this activity, learners build a simple solar oven out of household materials to melt chocolate and marshmallow between graham crackers--known as s'mores.

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

In this activity, learners use a nail and magnet wire to build an electromagnet, which controls the movements of a paper dancer.

Learners use shop tools and various materials to construct a magnetic spinner and a compass.

This marine biology activity (on pages 11-17) introduces learners to kelp (seaweed) forests that grow in the ocean and are home to many species of sea animals.

In this family or group inquiry activity, learners use their senses to explore a local forest or woodland.

In this technology activity, learners light up the room with electrifying play dough creations. Learners use conductive and insulating homemade play dough to build simple circuits.

In this activity, learners explore how voting systems have changed with engineering advances over time. Learners work in teams to design their own voting system using easy to find materials.

In this math lesson, learners are introduced to proportional reasoning through modeling, sharing, and questioning techniques.

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.

In this activity, learners explore how musical instruments are engineered.

In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.

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