Abuse-a-Cyst
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine how brine shrimp populations can survive in some of the harshest environments.

Patterns and Relationships: Here, There & Everywhere
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners use a variety of sensory modalities to gain experiences with identifying, describing and creating repeating patterns.

Identifying Erosion
Source Institutions
In this environmental science activity (page 3 of the PDF), leaners will identify and explain the causes of erosion.
Build Your Own Wind Turbine
Source Institutions
Learners construct an electricity-generating wind turbine out of a plastic bottle.

Plugged in to CO2
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate various appliances and electronics, discovering how much energy each uses and how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is released to produce that energy.

Morphing Butterfly
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how nanosized structures can create brilliant color.

Who Goes There?
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, night activity, learners track nocturnal animals' footprints, droppings and other signs of their presence.

Composting
Source Institutions
In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

Corals on Acid
Source Institutions
The objective of this inquiry-based lesson is for learners to gain an understanding of how increasing ocean acidity can affect the calcification of marine organisms.

Malformed Frogs
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Malformed Frogs) is a full inquiry investigation into using indicator species to assess the health of an environment.

As the Rotor Turns: Wind Power and You
Source Institutions
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

Mars from Above: Carving Channels
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create channel features with flowing water, comparing their observations to real images of Mars and Earth taken by satellites/orbiters.

Food Grab
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.

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.

Tobacco Mosaic Virus
Source Institutions
In this four-part laboratory exercise, learners investigate properties of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) including (1) symptoms induced by the virus in susceptible plants at the macroscopic and microscopi

Variation Game
Source Institutions
In this set of outdoor games, learners play the role of monkeys that are trying to get enough resources (food, shelter, and space) to survive.

The Watershed Connection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners interact with a 3-D model of a watershed to better understand the interconnectedness of terrestrial and aquatic environments.

Lilliputian Landscaping
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine the different materials gardeners add to their soil, and discuss how these materials are important for plant growth.
What Does Life Need to Live?
Source Institutions
In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

Floodplain Modeling
In this design-based lesson, learners study flood dynamics as they modify a riverbed with blockages or levees to simulate real-world scenarios.
