Create a “Find Someone” list, with about 10 items, each containing a shape, number, or measurement. Can you find someone in the group with hair about 4 inches long? Someone wearing parallel lines?

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity, learners develop an understanding of cylinders and volume as they compare two sizes of popcorn buckets.

In this activity, learners will decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.

In this activity, learners use their estimation skills to match the unmarked containers to their amounts.

In this activity, learners are challenged to calculate their own weight on various planets using a scale and calculator. Older learners may be challenged to do so without using calculators.

In this mathematics activity, learners use a map to determine the coordinates of and distance between two locations--both by road and "as the crow flies".

In this math activity, learners observe and sketch cracking patterns in pavement.

In this math activity, learners build Peppy the dog the best trail and park for running around.

In this activity, learners explore a scale by comparing objects, which look similar but have different weights. Learners predict and then measure the weights of various objects using a scale.

In this hands-on activity, learners make New Year's Eve party hats out of wrapping paper. Learners use symmetry and measurement to cut out shapes they need to assemble the hats.

In this math activity related to volume, learners use problem solving skills to calculate and build a model house for Minus the dog.

In this online activity, learners adjust mountain snowfall and temperature to see how glaciers grow and shrink. They will use scientific tools to measure thickness, velocity and glacial budget.

Learners investigate signs of a chemical reaction when they mix vinegar and baking soda. In addition to a gas being produced, learners also notice the temperature decreases.

In this activity, learners take their own pulse and explore how heart rate is affected by various activities.

In this kinesthetic activity that demonstrates pressure, learners act as air molecules in a "container" as defined by a rope.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory), learners will investigate what happens to bubble gum when it is chewed for 5-10 minutes.

In this activity (9th activity on the page), learners work in pairs to see how their perception of touch differs from reality.

In this activity, learners build a model roller coaster to help the Mummy entertain the Atom's Family monsters. Learners assemble the roller coaster between two chairs using vinyl ceiling molding.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners use simple materials to investigate evaporation. How can the evaporation of water on a hot day be used to cool an object? Find out the experimental way!
