This is an activity which will allow learners to gain an understanding of lemur behavior through observation and role play.

In this colorful activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will make a multicolor density column by using different concentrations of sugar solutions.

In this optics activity, learners explore how many objects they can see in a set of mirrors (hinged like a book) at various angles.

Learners experiment with a 2-liter plastic bottle containing water and four “divers." The divers consist of open, transparent containers with the opening points downward.

In this activity, learners use cheap, thin plastic garbage bags to quickly build a solar hot air balloon. In doing so, learners will explore why hot air rises.

In this up-cycling activity, learners recycle plastic bags and repurpose them into useful wallets.

In this activity, learners use an old CD to construct a spectroscope, a device that separates light into its component colors.

In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

Trick your family and friends with this creepy crawler that moves up and down. In this activity, learners construct a circuit and motor device that will move a homemade spider in a spooky way.

In this activity (23rd on the page), learners conduct an experiment to examine memory and learning.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hockey), learners will use a simple physics of motion and gravity demonstration to test their predicting skills.

In this activity, learners explore how changes in fluid pressure affect the buoyancy of a Cartesian diver inside a plastic soda bottle.

Using pipe cleaners, straws, and beads, learners explore the building blocks of life by creating their own model of DNA.

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

In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.

Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

In this activity (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each

In this activity, learners create a cylindrical mirror to see themselves as others see them.
