This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Pet Handedness) is a full inquiry investigation into whether pets show a preference for the left or right paw, or “handedness” like people.

This is an activity about the adaptations that allow the Aye-aye to survive in its habitat. Learners will explore how the Aye-aye collects food and how this is influenced by their specialized finger.

In this chemistry activity, learners are asked to form a hypothesis about the behavior of milk as household detergents act upon it.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Hockey Sticks Activity) about composites, materials made of 2 or more different components.

In this activity about soil (page 7 of the PDF), learners will use their sense of touch as well as sight to understand how soil is classified based on texture and other details.

In this outdoor, night activity, learners track nocturnal animals' footprints, droppings and other signs of their presence.

Learners smell balloons filled with different scents to guess what's inside. From this, they infer the presence and motion of scented molecules.

In this physics activity, learners will explore the concept of buoyancy, especially as it relates to density.

In this activity (23rd on the page), learners conduct an experiment to examine memory and learning.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Extreme Sounds) is a full inquiry investigation into sound.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hockey), learners will use a simple physics of motion and gravity demonstration to test their predicting skills.

Learners investigate how temperature affects the rate of chemical reactions by observing how steel wool reacts with various types of Kool-Aid solutions at different temperatures.

In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.

In this chemistry challenge, learners discover that many chemical reactions involve heat loss or gain.

Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

In this physics activity, learners attempt to lift a jar full of rice using only a spoon.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hovercraft) is a full inquiry investigation into hovercraft engineering and design optimization.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.

In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Extreme Sounds) about sound vibrations, learners will investigate which small objects, such as coins, hex nuts, or marbles, produce t
