In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF), learners make a "mini-globe" to investigate the causes of day and night on our planet.

In this activity (on pages 36-39), learners make a model of a watershed out of paper, then run water down the mountain to simulate how rainfall and pollution affect watersheds.

This activity (on pages 35-43) lets learners analyze a "herd of elk" to detect the spread of a bacterial disease called brucellosis.

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT) is a cloning method that involves transferring a nucleus from a somatic cell of the individual to be cloned to an enucleated egg.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Water Clean-up Activity) about the use of reduction agents to decontaminate ground water.

In this activity, learners discuss the different salinities of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the water cycle using movement, sound, and props to aid in comprehension.

In this activity, learners use pedigree and jigsaw puzzles to explore how scientists use genetic information from a family to identify a gene associated with a genetic disorder.

This activity explores the basic workings of a siphon, which is the core technology that makes toilets work.

In this group activity, learners will mark important developments of life on Earth on a timeline (each foot in length representing 200 million years).

In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe

In this activity, learners drop impactors onto layers of graham crackers!

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forensics) is a full inquiry investigation into how hairs from a crime scene are matched to suspects.

In this activity, learners model ancient lunar impacts using water balloons.

In this kinesthetic activity, learners move pom-pom "ions" across a membrane to simulate how an action potential is propagated along an axon.

In this activity, pairs of learners model how scientists use craters to determine the ages of lunar surfaces. One partner keeps time while the other creates a painting for the other to interpret.

In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.

In this activity, learners role-play the part of lake inhabitants and the aquatic exotics who displace the native species.
