In this introductory activity and demonstration, learners are introduced to the concept that different substances react chemically in characteristic ways.

In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratios and percentages to the distribution of letters contained in a box of Alphabits® cereal.

In this simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.

In this activity related to rotational inertia (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Microgravity), learners will use a bit of scientific experimenting to test if open-faced peanut butter sandwi

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

In this activity, learners cut wells in JELL-O© and load the wells with different detergent solutions.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

In this data analysis activity, learners quantify the abundance and distribution of sea scallops in and adjacent to the Mid-Atlantic closed areas.

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

Each learner chews a piece of gum until it loses its flavor, and then leaves the gum to dry for several days.

In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

In this activity, learners explore chemistry and the microbial world by making their own sourdough starter and bread at home using only flour and water.

In this data analysis activity, learners use data collected by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to study Chilean sea bass populations.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners collect, categorize, weigh and analyze classroom trash and discuss ways that engineers have helped to reduce solid waste.

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.
