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.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

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.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed big wheels or Ferris wheels.

In this activity, learners measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a carbonated drink.

In this activity, learners heat and cool carbonated water to find out whether temperature has an effect on how fast the dissolved gas leaves carbonated water.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore how water flows up from a tree's roots to its leafy crown.

This lesson will helps learners answer the question: How does the bombardment of micrometeoroids make regolith on the moon?

In this chemistry activity, learners perform three chemical reactions in a sealed zip-top bag. Learners will record their observations and classify the changes as chemical or physical.

In this investigation learners explore the differences between, and interdependence of, living and nonliving elements in a water ecosystem.

In this activity about human anatomy (page 20 of PDF), learners investigate the structure of muscles by comparing yarn and cooked meat.

In this activity, learners separate the components of Gatorade using a home-made affinity column.

In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

In this activity, learners review and discuss weathering, erosion and mass wasting, to gain a stronger understanding of how Hickory Run’s Boulder Field was formed after the Laurentide Continental Glac

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from wheat germ using simple materials.

In this activity, learners perform an experiment that models a chromatography-like process called electrophoresis, a process used to analyze DNA.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners use simple materials to investigate evaporation. How can the evaporation of water on a hot day be used to cool an object? Find out the experimental way!

In this activity about water solubility and density, learners use critical thinking skills to determine why water can dissolve some things and not others.

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

In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine how many Mentos are needed to make the tallest possible soda geyser.
