In this optics activity, learners use a shoebox, colored cellophane and sunlight to "change" the colors of gumballs. Learners will be surprised when the green and blue gumballs appear black!

In this activity, learners use cheap, thin plastic garbage bags to quickly build a solar hot air balloon. In doing so, learners will explore why hot air rises.

In this activity about gravity (page eight of the pdf), learners will very simply explore how gravity affects objects using balls and toys.

In this math activity, learners jump and measure how far they can jump on different surfaces using different jumping techniques.

In this geometry activity, learners explore networks painted on playgrounds, such as a four square court, and draw their own.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity demonstrates the shadow of the Earth as it rises as a dark blue shadow above the eastern horizon.

In this activity, learners capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.

In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.

In this activity, learners compare plant and animal life in different habitats including a sidewalk crack and lawn. Learners sort human-made materials and natural materials found in each habitat.

In this optics activity, learners split white light into all its component colors using three household items: a compact disc, dishwashing liquid, and a hose (outside).

In this kinesthetic activity that demonstrates pressure, learners act as air molecules in a "container" as defined by a rope.

In this kinesthetic activity, learners will play a game with a ball to demonstrate the Coriolis force, which partly explains why hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise.

En esta tira cómica, Mateo y Cientina observan unas hormigas para contestar algunas preguntas: ¿Qué comen las hormigas?

This is an activity about motion, power, air and Newton’s Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

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

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.

In this activity on page 13 of the PDF, use a special plastic card that has been painted with a chemical that changes color when it is in UV light.

In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.
