In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

In this activity, learners will explore nature by creating food for birds. Learners will develop fine motor skills and engage in nature observation through this activity.

In this activity, learners design and build a simple wind vane —one of the oldest kinds of weather tools— and use it to show wind direction.

In this activity, learners will trick out their bike with crafts and flair. Learners will explore symmetry, cause and effect and design through this activity.

Learners trace, cut out and fly a boomerang, outdoors or in a large indoor space.

Is a square stronger than a triangle? Use tongue depressors to build simple shapes. Then apply a little weight to them and see what happens!

Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

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

Make a kite out of a garbage bag, shower curtain, painting tarp--anything light, thin, flexible and plastic!

Learn about friction and kinetic energy with this cool spinning toy.

In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have improved roofing designs and materials in order to protect the contents of buildings.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore model planets (that they or an educator will create), using methods NASA scientists use to explore our Solar System.
