In this activity (2nd on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which foot is more dominant. In other words, are they right-footed or left-footed?

In this astronomy activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will examine the effects of gravity on a person’s pulse and explore how gravity can differ from planet to planet.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which of their hands is more dominant. In other words, are they right-handed or left-handed?

Learners trace, cut out and fly a boomerang, outdoors or in a large indoor space.

Learners conduct a "blind" taste-test of several types of enhanced or fitness water drinking water that has commercially added substances like vitamins, sugars, or herbs.

In this chemistry challenge, learners discover that many chemical reactions involve heat loss or gain.

In this activity, learners perform 20 arm curls with cans that simulate the weight of beans on Earth versus the weights of the same number of beans on the Moon and in space.

In this activity learners compare the bounciness of warm and cold racquetballs to see if temperature makes a difference in how well they bounce.

Combine math and exercise with this activity. Learners count how many times in a row they can skip rope or throw and catch a ball.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch), learners will stand twelve feet apart swinging a rope at the slowest tempo possible while someone uses a stopwatch to record

To understand how skaters turn in midair, try this little experiment! Individuals can do this activity alone, but it works better with a partner.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

This trick from Exploratorium physicist Paul Doherty lets you add together the bounces of two balls and send one ball flying.

In this activity, learners take their own pulse and explore how heart rate is affected by various activities.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and construct a trophy for prize-winning sports equipment.

You may have tried to throw a curveball or a slider, or even a screwball, with an ordinary baseball and found it difficult to do.

The goal of this activity is to build a miniature bobsled that is either the fastest or the slowest. Learners use recycled materials to design, build, and test their bobsled on a bobsled track.

In this physics activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of inertia by attempting to run and stop quickly.

This game explores the different reasons we choose to eat, and helps us be aware of when our body needs food and when it does not.

In this activity, learners predict whether a ball on Earth or a ball on the Moon bounces higher when dropped and why.
