In this activity, learners build a paper stellated rhombic dodecahedron, a three-dimensional 12-pointed star.

In this activity, learners make a paper model of a polymer, then make Silly Putty, an actual polymer.

In this pencil and paper activity, learners work in pairs and simulate how astronomical spacecraft and computers create images of objects in space.

In this hands-on experiment, kids use chemistry to explore whether acids or bases are better at restoring a penny’s shine.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

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

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

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

In this hands-on science experiment, students combine their understanding of the different states of matter and the characteristics of various chemical reactions.

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

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

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

In this activity, learners will predict the size of a giant scale model of a comb or other rectangular object, then make one. If you tripled the size of a dollar bill, could you sit on it?

In this archaeology activity, learners consider ways in which excavating an underwater site is different from excavating a terrestrial site.

In this fun group activity involving music and movement, learners are introduced to the idea that many insects walk by using their legs to create "alternating triangles." Learners sing the "Ants Go Ma

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

In this activity, learners will participate in a scavenger hunt involving sizes, shapes, and numbers. This activity works well with a whole group, individuals, or families.

In this chemistry activity, learners use thin layer chromatography to determine the molecular composition of different markers.

This activity encourages learners to focus on the natural environment of the Eastern Woodlands before the arrival of European settlers.
