In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.

In this activity, learners build a simple pinhole viewer. They use this apparatus to project images from a variety of light sources, including a candle, the Sun, and the Moon.

In this indoor or outdoor water activity, learners pour water from small cups to large cups and containers. In doing so, they discover water takes the shape of its container.

In this activity, learners will learn about a person they admire (famous, family or otherwise) or even themselves and create a life-sized silhouette.

In this activity, learners work together to create a life-sized drawing of the human nervous system.

In this activity, learners use a straight line to learn about circles. Learners measure and record the diameter and circumference of different sized cylindrical objects on a chart.

In this collecting/comparing activity, learners work with samples of sand from different places like a lakefront, river, or ocean beach.

In this introductory demonstration and activity, learners are introduced to the concept of density as they explore a rock and a wooden block in water.

Learners drop two different masses of play dough and observe how long it takes them to hit the ground.

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

In this activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting), learners will construct an air cannon by cutting a hole in the bottom of a bucket and stretching a garbage bag over the other end

Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.

In an investigation called "Shape It!" learners craft tiny boats out of clay, set them afloat on water and then add weight loads to them, in order to explore: how objects stay afloat in water; what th

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

In this activity, learners build water-propelled engines from soft drink cans.

In this activity, learners explore the great pump in their chests--the human heart!

In this engineering activity (page 2 of PDF), young learners investigate how a wide base can make a building more stable. Learners use blocks or boxes of different sizes to construct stable towers.
