In this two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

In this activity, learners explore how product design differences can affect the success of a final product -- in this case a bag for holding candy.

In this activity, learners separate materials based on their special properties to mimic the way recyclables are sorted at recycling centers.

Students design and build their own parachutes in this hands-on engineering project.

In this physics activity, challenge learners to remove the bottom coin of a stack of nickels without knocking over the stack. Use this activity to demonstrate friction.

In this activity, learners construct a playable kazoo from inexpensive materials. They will experience how vibration creates sound waves and music.

In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.

Learners make their own simple slide rules out of paper and learn how they work.

In this math game, learners throw dice and place the numbers in one of four boxes. Learners repeat this three more times and the learner with the largest four digit numbers is the winner.

Design a vessel that tests the limits of wind power given a set of off the shelf and recycled materials.

Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

In this engineering activity, learners design their own board games.

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.

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.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of friction and how ball bearings reduce friction.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this physics activity, learners assemble and/or investigate a pendulum "snake." Several large steel hex-nuts are suspended on strings of successively increasing length to form a series of pendulums

In this activity about transfer of energy, learners get to build their own catapult using nothing more than a plastic spoon and some tape.

In this hands-on activity, learners use an assortment of (mainly household) items to complete Rube Goldberg-type challenges.

Learners describe objects in a room using only numbers and shapes. They can measure the object (like a desk) and make a list of facts about it (e.g.
