Funny Putty
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 1 of PDF SciGirls Activity: Milk Carton Boat), learners will create a blob of stretchable funny putty out of a water, borax, and glue mixture.

Exercise and Memory
Source Institutions
This activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory) is a full inquiry investigation into the effects of exercise on short term memory.

Mega Bounce
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

Super Bounce
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

Breathing Room
Source Institutions
In this health activity, learners explore breathing, lungs and asthma. Learners test their lung capacity by blowing air into balloons.

Bouncing Balloons
Source Institutions
In this sports-themed engineering activity, learners create super bouncy balls out of balloons. Learners brainstorm, test their designs, and share results.

Make a Model Caldera
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Lava Flow Activity), learners will model how large depressions near the top of a volcano are formed by using an inflating and deflating balloon submerg

Foam Tower
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides), learners will whip up some suds with a cup of water and a tablespoon of dish soap until the bubbles are stiff enough to star

Conduction Countdown
Source Institutions
In this quick SciGirls activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design), learners will be introduced to the concept of thermal conductivity.

Color Code
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct the "Stroop Effect" test and explore what happens when they try to complete two simple tasks at the same time.

Static Friction Prediction
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Kinetic Sculpture Challenge Activity), learners will predict which objects have to overcome the most static friction to slide down a ramp.

Tiny Geyser Models
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 2), learners will construct tiny model geysers out of film canisters, warm water, and antacid seltzer tablets.

Design a Fish
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity), learners will study the adaptations different fish species have developed to survive in their habitats.

Air Cannon
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting), learners will construct an air cannon by cutting a hole in the bottom of a bucket and stretching a garbage bag over the other end

Parachute Parade
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners design parachutes to give toy figures safe landings. This activity is great for practicing an important STEM skill--changing only one variable at a time.

Cave in a Cup
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity), learners will model how caves are formed by placing one piece of chalk in a cup of vinegar and another piece in a cup of water, then

Cookie Surface Area
Source Institutions
This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.

Writing for Night Vision
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forensics), learners will use a home video camera with a “night vision” mode to test how various inks appear outside the spectrum of visibl

Super Soaker
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs), learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

Take It in Stride
Source Institutions
In this health and fitness activity, learners focus on the importance of daily physical activity, specifically walking.
