A magic lantern is a light that projects an image onto a screen.

In this activity, learners explore the invisible infrared radiation from an electric heater.

The major goal of this math lesson is to have learners collect data from a variety of experiments, determine what models best fits their data, and explain why their models are best.

Learners use two mirrors to explore how images of images of images can repeat forever.

Put on a pair of gloves and be the conductor of your invisible orchestra!

Use a Pico Cricket (micro-controller) to animate your art! You can program a Pico Cricket to make your art spin, light up, or make music.

In this activity, learners create a marble maze that contains sensors. As a metal marble triggers the sensors, the Pico Cricket turns on lights or spins motors.

In this demonstration, amaze learners by performing simple tricks using mirrors. These tricks take advantage of how a mirror can reflect your right side so it appears to be your left side.

In this physics activity, learners recreate Galileo's famous experiment, in which he dropped a heavy weight and a light weight from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa to show that both weights fall

Make two firefly lanterns, then program them to blink to one another and change colors.

This activity requires a Pico Cricket (tiny computer). Learners work on designing and building a sound sensor out of household materials, like plastic wrap and cardboard.

In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.

This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.

In this activity, learners investigate the different salinity levels of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

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.

Learners are challenged to create solutions that conduct electricity and make a buzzer buzz (or an LED light up).

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).
