In this activity, learners build unique sound enhancing inventions with items from around the house to amplify sound from their smart phone's speakers.

In this activity, learners build a Wilberforce Pendulum, a special coupled pendulum in which energy is transferred between two modes of vibration, longitudinal ("bounce') and torsional ("twist"), on a

This is part 1 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. In this activity, learners explore how sedimentary rocks form.

In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.

In this activity, learners use a toaster to generate wind and compare the appliance's heat source to Jupiter's own hot interior. Learners discover that convection drives wind on Jupiter and on Earth.

In this activity, learners investigate how bats use echolocation to navigate. One learner is assigned to be a bat, while the other learners are selected to be either moths or trees.

In this activity, learners explore why frost forms. They create their own frost using a solution of ice water and salt in a glass.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites), learners will witness firsthand the effects of Bernoulli’s Principle by capturing a ping pong ball in the stream of air created b

In this activity, learners observe as soap bubbles float on a cushion of carbon dioxide gas. Learners blow bubbles into an aquarium filled with a slab of dry ice.

In this forensics activity, students will explore the methods that investigators use to confirm the authenticity of handwriting.

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

In this activity, learners place cards featuring biological structures in order by their relative size from largest to smallest.

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

In this activity, learners will create unique rockets. Each rocket will be powered by air as the learner will blow into a straw and watch their rocket fly.

In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.

In this activity, use standard playing cards to introduce learners to cellular interactions such as cell to cell recognition and signal and receptor specificity.

In this activity, learners will engineer a water irrigation system. Learners will create a ditch irrigation system -- or an acequia-- to move water with the help of gravity.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

Learners observe and discuss a vacuum cleaner as a model of a baghouse, a device used in cleaning industrial air pollution.

In this activity, learners trap a thin layer of air between two pieces of Plexiglas to produce rainbow-colored interference patterns.
