In this activity, learners measure the diameter of their water balloons, model an impact, measure the diameter of the “crater” area, and determine the ratio of impactor to crater.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners conduct experiments to explore where dragonflies and damselflies perch or rest, and how the flies change behavior in reaction to other flies or fly decoys

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

This outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes) is a full inquiry investigation into how the amount of moisture in a sand dune relates to the number of plants growing

How do scientists measure how clear or murky water in a lake is? How does water clarity (clearness) affect what lives in the lake?

In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.

In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.

In this activity, learners calculate the number of milliliters of water a nearby tree transpires per day.

In this meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.

In this engineering activity, learners will get acquainted with the basics of wind energy and power production by fabricating and testing various blade designs for table-top windmills constructed from

In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this health and fitness activity, learners focus on the importance of daily physical activity, specifically walking.

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

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

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

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 investigate and compare the rate of drying in different conditions.

In this engineering activity, learners examine bicycle mechanics and gear ratios. Learners determine which gears will help them bike a set course in the shortest amount of time.
