In this experiment, learners will conduct chemical and physical tests to identify mystery substances.

In this activity, learners apply Ohm’s Law to construct voltage divider circuits. Learners discover how to read resistor codes and calculate resistor values.

In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.

In this activity, learners will participate in a scavenger hunt involving sizes, shapes, and numbers. This activity works well with a whole group, individuals, or families.

In this indoor or outdoor water activity, learners pour water from small cups to large cups and containers. In doing so, they discover water takes the shape of its container.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this chemistry activity, learners use thin layer chromatography to determine the molecular composition of different markers.

In this chemistry challenge, learners discover that many chemical reactions involve heat loss or gain.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

In this activity about how the body regulates blood pressure (page 117 of the PDF), learners make and compare measurements of heart rate and blood pressure from three body positions: sitting, standing

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.

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

In this activity, learners estimate how much water they think can be found in various locations on the Earth in all its states (solid, liquid, and gas) to discover the different water ratios in the Ea

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 1 of PDF), learners observe and quantify the growth of yeast when it is given table sugar as a food source.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners investigate various appliances and electronics, discovering how much energy each uses and how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is released to produce that energy.

In this activity, learners follow clues to find five puzzle pieces, then assemble them. This activity works well with a whole group, individuals, or families.

In this activity, learners discuss the different salinities of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.
