Atmosphere Composition Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

Ripening of Fruits and Vegetables
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test the rate of ripening fruit and vegetables and use a chemical to inhibit the ripening process.
Soaring Towers: Building with Recycled Materials
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

Going Green
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

Push It Out
Source Institutions
In this physics related activity which requires adult supervision, learners make their own powerful water rocket and, with it, explore Newton's Third Law of Motion.

Greeting Card Boxes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make cool boxes out of old (or new) greeting cards or postcards.

Up, Up, and Away
Source Institutions
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.

Hand Biometrics Technology
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers incorporate biometric technologies into products as well as the challenges of engineers who must weigh privacy, security and other issues when designin

Heart and Lungs
Source Institutions
In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.

What Causes Wind?
Source Institutions
In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

Temperature Tactics
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

Three Little Pigs

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.
Building Houses: Build a Cardboard Tube House
Source Institutions
Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

Sand Castle Saturation
Source Institutions
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.

Round & Round
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make and test fly paper helicopters. Learners use templates to create paper helicopters and then take take turns flying them in the air.

Carbon Sequestration
Source Institutions
In this inquiry-based lesson, learners measure the biomass of trees, calculate the carbon stored by the trees, and use this information to create recommendations about using trees for carbon sequestra
Giant Museum: Create a Scale Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will predict the size of a giant scale model of a comb or other rectangular object, then make one. If you tripled the size of a dollar bill, could you sit on it?

The Shadow Knows II
Source Institutions
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.

Out of Sight: Remote Vehicle Activity
Source Institutions
In this robotics activity, learners drive a remote-controlled car through a course to learn the challenges faced while trying to operate a planetary rover.
Double or More
Source Institutions
Choose a recipe to double (or triple, quadruple, or halve). Show everyone the recipe and engage them in figuring out: How much will we need to increase the recipe to feed everyone?
