In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most. Then, learners estimate the size of a Triceratops and T.

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

In this math activity, learners make their own bubble wands and determine if the size of the wand affects the number of bubbles it produces.

In this math lesson, learners estimate distances between landmarks and use a map and scales to determine the actual distances.

In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.

In this math lesson, learners construct box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Learners investigate whether or not long-legged people run faster than short-legged people.

This three-part activity shows learners how to build three meteorology tools: a wind vane, a rain gauge, and a barometer.

In this activity, learners will decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick) is a full inquiry investigation into transfer of motion.

In this activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch) is a full inquiry investigation into whether hearing or seeing has a bigger effect on jump rope performance.

In this very hands-on lesson, learners will investigate dendrochronology (the study of tree rings to answer ecological questions about the recent past) and come up with conclusions as to what possible

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War) is a full inquiry investigation into tug-of-war physics. Groups of learners will test two tug-of-war strategies.
