This activity (page 3 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs) is a full inquiry investigation into fossil hunting and identification.

In this activity, learners separate the protein from milk and and use it to make their own glue.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have met the challenge of keeping foods, liquids, and other items cool.

This activity allows learners to explore the scientific method in an open-ended fashion, using the 4-P Approach to Science Inquiry developed by the University of Wisconsin, Beloit.

Can gelatin (like Jell-O ®) change the speed of light?

In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.

This lesson gives full instructions for making cabbage juice indicator, a procedure sheet for learners to record observations as they use the indicator to test materials, and extension activities to d

Learners use Benedict’s solution and heat to test for the presence of simple sugars in glucose, sucrose, starch, and starch combined with amylase.

This activity teaches combustion as the interaction of a fuel source and oxygen.

In this kitchen chemistry activity, learners explore the chemistry of crystals by making sugar crystals, consider a common chemical reaction type responsible for the rising of muffins and cake in the

In this activity on page 2 of the PDF, learners test different materials to find out which is the best insulator.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Sailboat Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization.

In this laboratory activity, learners design an experiment to evaluate how environmental factors influence the growth of molds.

In this experiment, learners will conduct chemical and physical tests to identify mystery substances.

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 fun, hands-on autumn activity, learners experiment to discover whether the colored substances in leaves can be separated from the leaves.

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.

This exercise is designed to teach young learners the different parts of a plant (root, stems, leaves, flowers, fruit, and seeds), the basic functions of each part, and to show that tiny microscopic o

In this activity about engineering, nutrition, and physical activity, learners design and build a healthy bone model of a space explorer which is strong enough to withstand increasing amounts of weigh
