In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

In this outdoor activity, learners release a portion of a lawn from human control—no mowing, no watering, no weeding, no pest control—and then investigate the changes that result over several weeks.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners will discover that phenolphthalein is an acid/base indicator. One learner will read a poem about four witches making a potion.

In this activity (on pages 9-14), learners dissect a real flower -- the kind of work botanists do.

This activity is designed to introduce learners to genes, genotypes and simple inheritance patterns.

In this two-part activity, learners compare and contrast a variety of life cycles to better understand different organisms and how they develop.

This is an activity in which learners explore the effects of gravity, motion and momentum while creating art.

Learners investigate how the temperature of water affects its density.

In this activity, learners use objects they find on a nature and water to make creative frozen sculptures.

In the wild, small crustaceans known as brine shrimp live in marine habitats such as saltwater lakes.

In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will explore how energy from moving water can be used.

In this activity, learners explore the web of connections among living and non-living things.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF, explore the unique molecular structure and conductive nature of graphene. Learners construct a circuit with a battery and LED bulb.

In this activity, learners design a scientific exploration mission to a planet or moon of their choice.

In this activity, learners discover how sediment is affected in an oil spill. Learners investigate the differences between heavy and light oil as well as the differences between different sediments.

In this activity, learners use simple tools to build a bookshelf with a built-in bookend.

With little more than a flashlight, a straw, and a plastic lid, make an observatory so you can see the amazing colors in bubbles.

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs) is a full inquiry investigation into decomposition.

In this activity, young learners will make their own flower seed nursery in an egg carton.

Learners see that a can of regular cola sinks while a can of diet cola floats. As a demonstration, bubble wrap is taped to the can of regular cola to make it float.
