In this activity (pages 13-14), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.

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

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 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 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.

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 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 simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

Learners smell balloons filled with different scents to guess what's inside. From this, they infer the presence and motion of scented molecules.

This activity provides an opportunity for learners to observe and examine how carbon dioxide, water, and light produce glucose/starch through a process called photosynthesis.
