In this activity, learners will make their own prism and use a glass of water to separate sunlight into different colors.

In this activity, learners make a scale model of the Solar System and learn the real definition of "space." Learners use the online calculator to create an appropriate scale to use as a basis for thei

In this activity (on pages 6-11), learners work as a team to investigate how impact craters on Earth, the Moon or other planets take shape and what patterns they make.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into the forces of gravity and air pressure.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how "bounciness" relates to the distance a ball will fly when hit off a batting tee.

In this math lesson, learners use a variety of manipulatives to explore spatial relationships of squares and their transformations.

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

In this activity (on pages 10-17), learners discover how scientists study biodiversity and the health of the environment based on inspection of small areas—a process known as sampling.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.

In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs) is a full inquiry investigation into decomposition.
