In this activity, learners mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.

This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.

In this highly physical outdoor activity, learners construct and compare experimental trail sections to select the best trail-construction technique for their site.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick) is a full inquiry investigation into transfer of motion.

In this activity learners observe mold growth on different types of bread by measuring and recording the growth rate.

In this activity, learners sniff out scents hidden in balloons! After investigating, learners discover we sometimes can use another sense (smell) to detect things too small to see.
