In this activity about ramps, learners explore and measure the rate at which spherical objects roll down a ramp.

In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

In this activity, learners interpret three trackways and use measurements and a formula to infer the relative speed of dinosaurs.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

Learners construct and launch paper helicopters.

In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.

In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

Learners create a tool to measure how well they grip a wet object when their fingers are smooth versus wrinkly. Are smooth or wrinkly fingers better at holding on to the object?

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, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

In this math lesson, learners explore the real world meaning of slope. Learners conduct a balloon experiment in which they measure the circumference and flight time of deflating balloons.

In this lab activity, learners explore how to initiate a density current. Learners measure six flasks with different concentrations of salt and water (colored blue).

In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.

In this activity about saturation (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes), learners will build a series of sand castle towers using a 16 oz cup.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into tree growth rates.

Learners use a spring scale to drag an object such as a ceramic coffee cup along a table top or the floor.

In this experiment, learners construct an equilateral triangle using graph paper, a pencil, protractor and ruler. They also make a "laser triangle" using a laser pointer and front-silvered mirrors.

In this math lesson, learners apply mathematical modeling to solve a real-world storage problem, in which a manufacturing company is given two options for storing oil barrels.
