In this environmental education demonstration (page 6 of the PDF), learners will see a tangible representation of the scarcity of soil resources on earth.

In this activity, learners will build a simple electromagnet. They will test variables that would make the electromagnet stronger.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this activity, learners will go outside and create a constellation.

In this activity about gravity (page eight of the pdf), learners will very simply explore how gravity affects objects using balls and toys.

Learners conduct a "blind" taste-test of several types of enhanced or fitness water drinking water that has commercially added substances like vitamins, sugars, or herbs.

In this activity, learners use their imaginations and picture a scene in their heads.

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.

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.

In this activity, learners explore how changes in fluid pressure affect the buoyancy of a Cartesian diver inside a plastic soda bottle.

Learners apply their knowledge from a previous study to identify different liquids--water, corn syrup, and vegetable oil.

Using pipe cleaners, straws, and beads, learners explore the building blocks of life by creating their own model of DNA.

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

In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.

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.

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.
