Baffling Body
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will learn about proprioception, or the body's sense of its place and position in space.
Balloon Flinker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a helium balloon "flink"--neither float away nor sink to the ground. Use this activity to introduce physics concepts related to gravity, density, and weight.
Cauldron Bubbles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix up a bubbly brew and examine density. Learners explore how they can make different materials fall and rise in water using oil, water, and salt.
Column Chromatography
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners separate the components of Gatorade using a home-made affinity column.
Dance Diagram
Source Institutions
Teams of learners use a series of stick figures made from pipe cleaners to model a dance routine. Then, they use this model to communicate to another learner who performs the dance routine.
Create Your Own Time Capsule
Source Institutions
In this archaeology-related activity, learners build their own time capsule and choose a storage location and a date to reopen it.
Mint Your Own Coin
Source Institutions
Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.
Pom-Pom Probability
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners predict how many pom-poms they can toss inside a circle from three feet away. Use this activity to help learners explore probability.
CD Air Puck
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use a compact disc to build an air puck that can glide across a smooth tabletop. The puck glides with almost no friction on a cushion of air escaping from a balloon.
DIY Bath Bombs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore acid-base reactions and create their own bubbly results.
Colorblind Dogs
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Colorblind Dogs) is a full inquiry investigation into dogs' ability (or inability) to see color.
Nuclear Fusion
Source Institutions
This simple and engaging astronomy activity explains nuclear fusion and how radiation is generated by stars, using marshmallows as a model.
Wolf Survival is Just a Roll Away
Source Institutions
In this simulation activity, learners will raise a pack of wolves under ten different conditions: without human interference and with human interference.
Disappearing Glass Rods
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners discover how they can make glass objects "disappear." Learners submerge glass objects like stirring rods into a beaker of Wesson™ oil to explore how the principles of
Gumdrop Chains and Shrinky Necklaces
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners thread gumdrops together to make a model of a polymer.
Chilean Sea Bass: Off the Menu
Source Institutions
In this data analysis activity, learners use data collected by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to study Chilean sea bass populations.
Don't Be Nerve-ous
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover a brain process called habituation.
Harvesting Chemicals from a Battery
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners take apart a used zinc-carbon dry cell battery.
Giant Lens
Source Institutions
In this activity about light and refraction, learners discover how a lens creates an image that hangs in midair.
Doghouse Design
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design) is a full inquiry investigation into absorption and reflection of radiant energy.
