In this activity, learners build their your own seismograph with household materials to document shaking.

In this activity, learners will learn how to knit using only their hands. Learners will explore patterns and fabrication as well as develop fine motor skills and patience through this activity.

In this activity, learners will create an optical illusion top. Learners will explore color mixing, physics and design through this activity.

In this activity about olfaction (8th activity on the page), learners smell 10 different items with different odors. Then they try to identify the smells when they are mixed together.

In this activity (1st activity on the page), learners explore their sense of taste and the structure of the tongue by taste-testing various foods.

Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.

In this activity, learners will perform various investigations to understand the vestibular-ocular reflex and learn about the importance of visual cues in maintaining balance.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering to construct an insect collecting tool (insect aspirator). The pooter uses suction to safely collect smaller insects that nets miss or may injure.

In this hands-on activity, learners investigate the functional design of leaves on a tree.

In this trick, hold your hand over a burning candle without getting burned, by reflecting and transmitting the light of two candles. This activity is best suited as a demonstration.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Luge) is a full inquiry-based challenge related to motion and design optimization.

In this activity, learners carry out a scientific investigation of dust in their classroom. Learners produce an analysis on graph paper of the dust they collect over the course of a few days.

In this activity, learners will construct a measuring device (snake "string") to improve their observation skills.

In this two part activity, learners work in pairs or individually to discover how vectoring the thrust from a jet engine affects movement of an airplane.

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

In this activity (on pages 11-12 of PDF) learners create models of lava layers that have formed on the moon.

In this activity, learners explore nonrenewable resources and learn why these resources are finite.

Learners observe a flask with a balloon attached over the mouth and inverted inside the flask.

Does yeast breathe? Find out by watching how plastic bags filled with yeast, warm water and different amounts of sugar change over time.

In this activity, learners will observe and record living things with in outlined outside space.
