In this activity, learners explore how to stay fit the fun way. Learners participate in three physical activities.

This guide outlines how to plant a garden even if you don't have a yard!

In this activity, learners build an instrument for catching and observing flies. Learners act as entomologists, attract flies into a jar using a slice of apple, and then observe the flies' behavior.

In this weather activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate the changes in atmospheric pressure by constructing their own barometer.

In this activity, learners observe the moon each night for a month and draw their observations in a Moon Watch Log.

In this activity, learners work in teams to study the observation skills essential to scientific research.

In this activity, learners discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

In this activity, learners create a CloudSpotter wheel and record the different types of clouds they observe twice daily over several days.

This is an activity to do when there is a solar eclipse!

In this activity, learners use a simple trick of perspective to dress friends in tiny cutout clothing. Learners make tiny pants out of card stock and tape them to the end of a stick.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

Learners construct one or more of the following kinds of sundials: a shadow plot, a horizontal sundial, and a diptych sundial.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Animal Scent Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into animal behavior.

In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

In this activity, learners explore how polarizing sunglasses can help diminish road glare.

In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.

In this activity, learners use tonic water to detect ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun and explore the concept of fluorescence.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off), learners will use the ever-popular soda geyser experiment to test the reactivity of the various sugar candies or mints.
