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

In this activity, learners make a scale model of an atom to see how big or how small an atom is compared to its nucleus. Learners will realize that most of matter is just empty space!

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

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

In this activity, learners make cool boxes out of old (or new) greeting cards or postcards.

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.

In this math lesson, learners construct box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Learners investigate whether or not long-legged people run faster than short-legged people.

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 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

In this activity, learners test the rate of ripening fruit and vegetables and use a chemical to inhibit the ripening process.

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

In this activity (on pages 18-28), learners explore how the shape of seeds affects how they are dispersed by wind, birds, ocean currents and other means.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

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.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

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.

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

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

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

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.
