Animal & Plant Cell Slides
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make slides of onion cells and their own cheek cells. Use this lab to teach learners how to prepare microscope slides and use a microscope.

Chew that Gum
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory), learners will investigate what happens to bubble gum when it is chewed for 5-10 minutes.

A Recipe for Air
Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.
How Does Water Climb a Tree?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore how water flows up from a tree's roots to its leafy crown.

Wheat Evolution: Dough Rising and Baking
Source Institutions
In this activity (Page 25 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by creating dough from different flours, observing the samples of dough as they rise, and then baking the dough.

Handy Family Tree
Source Institutions
In this bilingual (English/Spanish) activity, learners create family trees by tracing the hands of their family members.

Dye Like A Natural
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners stain fabrics--on purpose!

Cartesian Diver
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: California Fish), learners will build a simple Cartesian Diver in an empty 2-liter bottle.

Scent Tag
Source Institutions
In this matchmaking activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Animal Scent Activity), learners will each have a scented cotton ball taped to their shoulder. The scent (e.g.

Model Well
Source Institutions
In this quick activity about pollutants and groundwater (page 2 of PDF under Water Clean-up Activity), learners build a model well with a toilet paper tube.
Enhanced Water Taste Test
Learners conduct a "blind" taste-test of several types of enhanced or fitness water drinking water that has commercially added substances like vitamins, sugars, or herbs.

Enzyme Action
Source Institutions
In this activity that can be used as a lab or demonstration, learners use Lactaid® and lactose to demonstrate the concept of enzyme action.

Gummy Growth
Source Institutions
In this activity related to Archimedes' Principle, learners use water displacement to compare the volume of an expanded gummy bear with a gummy bear in its original condition.

Smell the Difference
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners use household items to smell the difference between some stereoisomers, or molecules which are mirror images of one another.

Invisible Ink
Source Institutions
In this simple chemistry activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Colorblind Dogs) about acids and bases, learners will mix a baking soda and water solution and use it to paint a message on a

Exponential Models: Rhinos and M&M’s ®
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners model exponential decay and exponential growth using M&M's, paper folding, and African rhino population data.

Molecular Menagerie
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.

Testing Vitamin C: Chemistry's Clear Solution
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 8 of the PDF, learners investigate vitamin C. Learners conduct a chemistry experiment to determine if Tang drink mix or orange juice contains more vitamin C.

Gummy Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

Destination Tidepool
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 7 of pdf), learners research tide pool ecosystems, and then create brochures that "advertise" these environments.
