In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore how water flows up from a tree's roots to its leafy crown.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

In this activity, learners use gumdrops and toothpicks to model the composition and molecular structure of three greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O) and methane (CH4).

In this activity, learners examine the properties of different seaweeds, investigate what happens when powdered seaweed (alginate) is added to water, and learn about food products made with seaweed.

This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection by encouraging them to formulate questions that can be answered through scientific investi

In this activity, learners build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

In this activity, learners use chocolate to explore how the Sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation.

Just like birds, some dinosaurs had air-filled (pneumatic) bones, which made the dinosaurs' skeletons lighter.

In this activity, learners create a "mini sky" in a glass of water in a dark room.

In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: California Fish), learners will build a simple Cartesian Diver in an empty 2-liter bottle.

In this activity about combustion and energy, learners observe a burning candle in a sealed jar and the burning of white sugar.

In this quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity), learners will observe how dry breakfast cereal appears to dance when it gets close to a balloon charged with static

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

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.
