In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 109: The Perfect Pancake, learners make applesauce to explore irreversible change.

In this math activity, learners read "The Button Box" by Margarette S. Reid and then make their own button boxes filled with different buttons.

In this two part activity, learners become draft detectives by constructing their own draft catchers to detect drafts around windows or doors.

In this activity, learners make their own bug boxes and test the habitat preference of selected "minibeasts" (bugs).

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and construct a trophy for prize-winning sports equipment.

In this math-based activity, learners will experiment to find how height and angle affect spatter and then use this knowledge to solve a crime.

Scientists use enormous wind tunnels to test the design of planes, helicopters, even the Space Shuttle.

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

In this design challenge activity, learners add headphones to a previously built instrument (see "Build a Band" activity) to make it easier to hear.

Learners create beautiful fluid motion. They explore fluid dynamics, surface tension, solubility, and buoyancy while mixing liquids together.

In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.

In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.

In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners go on a nature walk outside and describe what they observe using their senses.

Learners conduct two activities to investigate two properties of liquids: density and viscosity. In a clear container, learners stack 7 different liquids which will layer according to their density.

In this hands-on activity, learners determine the types of chemical reactions achieved when combining different household products.

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

In this math lesson, learners record and graph plant growth and interpret data. Learners plant seeds, and once the seeds sprout, record the change in height of the plants for several days.

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 activity, learners make critters out of recyclables and apply the rules of mathematics to solve genetics problems.
