This outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes) is a full inquiry investigation into how the amount of moisture in a sand dune relates to the number of plants growing

In this activity, learners explore how an electromagnet works by making a simple one. Using this knowledge, learners design a diagram to make a working speaker using household materials.

In this activity about electricity, learners identify closed and open circuits. First, learners examine and label diagrams of open and closed circuits.

This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.

In this activity, learners investigate the history and development of agricultural biotechnology.

In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind life vests or personal flotation devices and the challenges met by these devices.

In this four-day activity, learners grow bacteria and/or fungi from a variety of locations and compare the results.

In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.

In this environmental engineering activity, learners build windmills using everyday items. The first challenge is to build windmills that spin when placed in front of a fan.

In this mechanical engineering activity, learners design shadow puppets with moving parts and use them to tell stories.

Learners make self-assembled polymer spheres as a model for the lipid nanoparticles found in COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.

In this activity, learners explore how infrared technology is used by engineers to create equipment and systems for a variety of industries.

In this activity, learners demonstrate and discuss simple circuits as well as the differences between parallel and serial circuit design and functions.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners imagine what would happen if our Sun were replaced with a black hole.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have met the challenge of keeping foods, liquids, and other items cool.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners locate and study plants and animals in several freshwater pond habitats.
