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

Make impact craters with marbles (or rocks or washers) in a container of flour. Find out what you can learn about your "comets" by the craters they make.

In this activity, one person acts as a human robot while another acts as their developer by programming their actions.

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.

This is a tape and glue activity in which learners make binoculars that they can decorate and then use to go bird watching.

Use echolocation to find others and experience how whales’ senses have adapted to suit their environment. In pairs, learners are blindfolded and use containers filled with marbles to find each other.

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 activity, learners explore the physics of impact craters from their own backyard using mud. Learners are encouraged to match features of real impact craters to their models.

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.

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

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.
