In this hands-on botany activity, learners sprout vegetables in film canisters.

In this activity, learners determine the necessary conditions for pea seed germination.

In this activity, learners discover how sediment is affected in an oil spill. Learners investigate the differences between heavy and light oil as well as the differences between different sediments.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Plants—The Green Machines), learners examine the effects that light and air have on green plants.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forensics), learners will use a home video camera with a “night vision” mode to test how various inks appear outside the spectrum of visibl

In this physical sciences activity, learners use science to solve a "crime." Learners collect trace evidence (glitter) and explore its characteristics, such as color, size, shape, and light reflection

In this activity, learners use earthworms as "unknown creatures" from the South American jungle to find out how animals use senses.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.

In this activity, learners simulate the energy transfer between the earth and space by using the light from a desk lamp desk lamp with an incandescent bulb and a stack of glass plates.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.

In this activity about magnetism (page 17 of the pdf), learners experiment with magnets, exploring the concept of diamagnetic materials by seeing how a grape reacts to a magnetic field.

In this activity about color, learners get to explore the process of chromatography. Right before their eyes, they can watch ordinary green and black ink turn into a literal rainbow of colors.

In this activity on page 10 of the PDF, learners detect the amount of energy that can flow through a sodium chloride electrolyte solution with a light sensor.
