In this activity, learners model how the Moon's volcanic period reshaped its earlier features.

In this multi-station lab, learners conduct a series of experiments to explore the processes and effects of weathering and erosion.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.

In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

In this math lesson, learners design an experiment to model a leaky faucet and determine the amount of water wasted due to the leak.

Using recycled materials, learners will design a transportation vehicle to carry an egg in an egg toss (a rudimentary model of a shock absorbent transport vessel).

In this activity, learners build cars using syringes and water-powered hydraulics. Learners construct the car frame out of cardboard and set up a hydraulic system to raise and lower the car.

In this activity, learners string a line across the room and build cable cars that can move from on end to the other.

In this activity about saturation (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes), learners will build a series of sand castle towers using a 16 oz cup.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF SciGirls Activity: Milk Carton Boat) is a full inquiry investigation into boat hull design.

In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.

In this activity, learners will discover how fossils are dug out of the earth by carefully exposing treasures hidden in an artificial rock that is easily made at home.

In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.

In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete

In this activity, learners build styrofoam boats powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this activity, learners create a working model of a nail clipper. This activity helps learners learn the basic principles of simple machines, engineering design and model building.

Educator Amy O'Donnell from the American Museum of Natural History guides learners to create a diorama of a coral reef.

In this activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.

In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.
