Single-Cell Life
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a soil and water model of a single-cell life environment and study living microorganisms.

A Dissolving Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners add objects and substances to carbonated water to discover that added objects increase the rate at which dissolved gas comes out of solution.

Test Density with a Supersaturated Solution
Source Institutions
Learners create three solutions with different levels of salinity. They compare the density of these solutions by coloring them and layering them in a clear plastic cup and in a soda bottle.

Half Full or Half Empty
Source Institutions
In this activity (12th activity on the page), learners conduct an experiment to demonstrate how muscles are constantly feeding information to the brain about what they are doing.

Shrinking Cups
Source Institutions
This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Gecko Feet Activity) about the forces of gravity and surface tension and how their behavior is influenced by size.

Lotus Leaf Effect
Source Institutions
This is a demonstration about how nature inspires nanotechnology. It is easily adapted into a hands-on activity for an individual or groups.

Make a Lake
Source Institutions
Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?

Challenge: Microgravity
Source Institutions
In this activity about the circulatory system and space travel (on page 38 of the PDF), learners use water balloons to simulate the effects of gravity and microgravity on fluid distribution in the bod

Dip Dip, Hooray
Source Institutions
Lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies are a habitat for lots of living things, big and small.

Kid Moon: Splat!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model ancient lunar impacts using water balloons.
Forwards and Backwards: pH and Indicators
Source Institutions
Visitors prepare six solutions combining vinegar and ammonia that range incrementally from acid (all vinegar) to base (all ammonia).

Tabletop Biosphere
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a sealed, mini ecosystem that supplies freshwater shrimp with food, oxygen, and waste processing for at least three months.

Salt Water Revival
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners visit the intertidal zone of a rocky coastal site well populated with marine organisms.

Working with Watermills
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how watermills have helped harness energy from water through the ages.

A Crayon Rock Cycle- Metamorphic
Source Institutions
This is part 2 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity and must be done after part 1: Sedimentary Rocks. In this activity, learners explore how metamorphic rocks form.

Canned Heat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

Solubility Test
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners apply a dissolving test to known crystals to identify the unknown. Since the unknown is chemically the same as one of the known crystals, it should dissolve similarly.

Hot Stuff!: Creating and Testing for Carbon Dioxide
In this demonstration, learners observe vinegar and baking soda reacting to form carbon dioxide (CO2) gas.

Swirling Milk
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners prepare two petri dishes, one filled with water and one filled with milk.

Sand Castle Saturation
Source Institutions
In this activity about saturation (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes), learners will build a series of sand castle towers using a 16 oz cup.
