In this activity, learners explore how nanosized structures can create brilliant color.

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

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.

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.

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

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 (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each

In this activity, learners create a cylindrical mirror to see themselves as others see them.

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

In this activity, learners will explore how the voice works and feel the vibrations produced by vocal cords.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.

In this yummy biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners participate in a demonstration of natural selection.

This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.

In this outdoor activity, learners review the parts of the synapse and their functions by playing a game.

In this activity about light and refraction, learners make a lens and magnifying glass by filling a bowl with water.

In this health activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will discover why covering their mouth and nose while sneezing is so important.

In this activity, learners will turn cream and salt into butter—using marbles. Learners will explore how shaking up fat globules help them create homemade butter.
