Bake Sale
Source Institutions
This activity helps learners learn about math through a real-world scenario. Three friends are baking cookies for their school’s bake sale.

I Want to Hold Your Hand
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a robot-like hand to demonstrate how data is collected when using robotic technology.

Weather Stations: Temperature and Pressure
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.

Mold Mole Molds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).

Dinosaur Homes
Source Institutions
In this activity about dinosaurs and survival, learners use scrap materials to create a miniature dinosaur habitat that includes a food source, water source, and shelter.

Molecules in Motion
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners add food coloring to hot and cold water to see whether heating or cooling affects the speed of water molecules.

Dogs and More Dogs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play an evolution card game to see how selective pressures can affect an organism's evolution.

Plenty on the Plains
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners compare the ways of life of Plains Native Americans who hunted and moved frequently to follow the buffalo herds, and Native Americans who farmed and lived in more permanent
What's So Special about Water: Absorption
Source Institutions
In this activity about water's cohesive and adhesive properties and why water molecules are attracted to each other, learners test if objects repel or absorb water.

Human-powered Orrery
Source Institutions
In this space science activity, learners work together to create a human-powered orrery to model the movements of the four inner planets.

Designing a Wall
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.

Programming Languages: Harold the Robot
Source Institutions
In this activity related to computer programming, learners give directions to a "robot" (either an adult or another learner) and find out which instructions the robot is able to follow, and how their

Submarine: Lift Bag Lander
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 4), learners create a submarine using a plastic sandwich bag. This is a fun way to learn about buoyancy and how captured gas can cause objects to float.

Making Connections: What You Can Do To Help Stop Global Climate Change
Source Institutions
In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.

Exploring How Robots Move
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how pneumatics and hydraulics could be used to produce movement in a robotic arm.

Double Dutch Distractions
Source Institutions
This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch) is a full inquiry investigation into whether hearing or seeing has a bigger effect on jump rope performance.
Light on Other Planets
Source Institutions
In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe

Buzzing Bee
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing an instrument toy that buzzes when you swing it.

Space Rocks!: A Meteorite Game
Source Institutions
In this board game, learners explore the origins of meteors, meteoroids, and meteorites as well as the their characteristics and importance. They also discover some misconceptions about meteors.

Bark Beetle Infestation Investigation: Estimation and Pheromones
Source Institutions
This activity investigates how bark beetles can threaten forests by having learners estimate the number of infected trees from a photo.
