In this activity, learners will trick out their bike with crafts and flair. Learners will explore symmetry, cause and effect and design through this activity.

This is a tape and glue activity in which learners make binoculars that they can decorate and then use to go bird watching.

In this activity, learners discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

In this math lesson, learners participate in a variety of activities that give them experience in recognizing, describing, and extending repeating and arithmetic patterns.

Is a square stronger than a triangle? Use tongue depressors to build simple shapes. Then apply a little weight to them and see what happens!

In this activity, learners will explore nature by creating food for birds. Learners will develop fine motor skills and engage in nature observation through this activity.

Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

Make a kite out of a garbage bag, shower curtain, painting tarp--anything light, thin, flexible and plastic!

Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!

This outdoor activity/field trip requires a place where minnows swim, such as a local pond or brook.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.

In this activity, learners design and build a simple wind vane —one of the oldest kinds of weather tools— and use it to show wind direction.

In this three/four-day lesson, learners calculate perimeters and areas and draw the castle plan to scale.

In this math lesson, learners participate in several activities where they apply measurement skills.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have improved roofing designs and materials in order to protect the contents of buildings.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.
