High Tech Fashion
Source Institutions
In this technology activity, learners build simple circuits, design soft circuits using conductive thread, and then sew switch-activated circuits.
Stereoscope
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.
Exploring Materials: Nano Gold
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that nanoparticles of gold can appear red, orange or even blue. They learn that a material can act differently when it’s nanometer-sized.
Aviary Architect
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged to design, build and test a birdhouse that will stay cool in the sun.

Source Institutions
In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.
Bike Wheel Zoetrope
Source Institutions
In this activity (posted on April 18, 2011), learners follow the steps to construct a zoetrope, a device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures, using a 16" bik
Exploring Earth: Temperature Mapping
Source Institutions
This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.
Forensic Science: Hair Sample Investigation
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forensics) is a full inquiry investigation into how hairs from a crime scene are matched to suspects.
Mini Zoetrope
Source Institutions
In this activity (posted on March 27, 2011), learners follow the steps to construct a mini zoetrope, a device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures.
