Why Does the Moon Have Phases?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

Rubber Band Racer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

Statistics: Steppin' Out
Source Institutions
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.

Temperature vs. Height: Soda Geyser Series #6
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine how temperature will affect the height of a soda geyser.

Soda Brand vs. Height Experiment: Soda Geyser Series #4
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine which brand of soda makes the best (highest) soda geyser.

Weather Forecasting
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting) is a full inquiry investigation into meteorology and forecasting.

Protect That BRAIN!: Mr. Egghead
Source Institutions
This activity demonstrates the importance of wearing a helmet to protect the brain. An egg is used to symbolize a head with the shell as the skull and the inside of the egg as the brain.
Filling the Time
Source Institutions
Build time sense into the schedule by asking learners to predict what can happen in a certain amount of time: We have 20 minutes before outdoor time. What can you get done?

Measure the Sun's Size
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make their own pinhole viewer in order to measure the size of the sun.

Roller Coaster Design
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Roller Coaster Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into g-force and acceleration.

Reflective Solar Cooker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use the Sun's energy to cook marshmallows. Learners construct the solar oven out of simple everyday materials.

Building Tetrahedral Kites
Source Institutions
Working in teams of four, learners build tetrahedral kites following specific instructions and using specific materials.

Best Bubbles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment with creating various types of bubble solutions and testing which ingredients form longer-lasting bubbles.

Free-Fall Bottles & Tubes
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners conduct two experiments to explore free-falling.

Surface Area and Soda Geysers
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area and reactivity.
Growing Plants: Track Their Growth
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

There’s No Place Like Home!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make their own bug boxes and test the habitat preference of selected "minibeasts" (bugs).
Hexagon Hunt
Source Institutions
This activity gets learners looking at 6-sided shapes in nature, including the cells of a beehive, as well as other shapes.

First Impressions
Source Institutions
Learners experiment with a commercial photo-sensitive paper (Sunprint® or NaturePrint® paper). They place opaque and clear objects on the paper and expose it to bright light, observing the results.

Gravity Fountains
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into the forces of gravity and air pressure.
