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

In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.

In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

Learners take a field trip along a local body of water and conduct a visual survey to discover information about local land use and water quality.

In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

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

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 evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.

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 use a compass, powerful magnet, and copper magnet wire to build a special generator known as a dynamo.

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.
