In this activity, learners use a fictitious map of "Tourist Town" and counters to problem solve how to place ice-cream vans on street intersections so that every other intersection is connected to one

In this activity, learners are challenged to design, build and test a birdhouse that will stay cool in the sun.

In this activity, learners repeat patterns in two and three dimensions to create tessellations.

In this activity, learners test the pH of safe liquids available at home by creating a pH indicator from mashed blueberries.

In this activity, learners follow clues to find five puzzle pieces, then assemble them. This activity works well with a whole group, individuals, or families.

In this activity, learners use heat to separate zinc and copper in a penny. This experiment demonstrates physical properties and how physical change (phase change) can be used to separate matter.

In this activity, learners build their your own seismograph with household materials to document shaking.

In this activity, learners will learn how to knit using only their hands. Learners will explore patterns and fabrication as well as develop fine motor skills and patience through this activity.

Testing magnets is always a fun pastime, but here, we're going beyond "will it attract the magnet?" In this activity, learners will investigate which materials allow magnetic fields to pass through or

In this activity, learners will create an optical illusion top. Learners will explore color mixing, physics and design through this activity.

In this simulation, learners act out each digestive function of the organs, tissues, and cells in the digestive tract.

Build a hydrometer (measures the density of a liquid) using a pipet or eyedropper.

In this activity, learners will create a magnifying glass called a waterscope, using water and household items, to examine various objects.

In this activity, learners explore the Great Plains.

This activity (page 2) draws upon a familiar, computer-based concept related to visual resolution: pixilation.

Learners observe the outside and inside of raw chicken eggs, record descriptions, and hypothesize what will happen when a facilitator drops an egg on the floor.

In this game, learners take turns guessing toy animals from around their house based on the toy's characteristics.

In this activity, learners use their senses to collect information about a fruit and record their findings in a Science Journal.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Music and Sound) is a full inquiry investigation into sound frequency.

In this activity, learners discover how to rotate a flat shape into the third dimension. Learners draw and cut out a shape that has at least one straight edge on an index card.
