Wolf Survival is Just a Roll Away
Source Institutions
In this simulation activity, learners will raise a pack of wolves under ten different conditions: without human interference and with human interference.

Disappearing Glass Rods
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners discover how they can make glass objects "disappear." Learners submerge glass objects like stirring rods into a beaker of Wesson™ oil to explore how the principles of

Gumdrop Chains and Shrinky Necklaces
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners thread gumdrops together to make a model of a polymer.

Don't Be Nerve-ous
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover a brain process called habituation.

Harvesting Chemicals from a Battery
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners take apart a used zinc-carbon dry cell battery.

Giant Lens
Source Institutions
In this activity about light and refraction, learners discover how a lens creates an image that hangs in midair.

Doghouse Design
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design) is a full inquiry investigation into absorption and reflection of radiant energy.

Race Around the Black Hole
Source Institutions
In this game, learners cutout a model black hole "cone" and attempt to roll around a marble or other small spherical object without touching the event horizon.

Exploring the Solar System: Big Sun, Small Moon
Source Institutions
“Exploring the Solar System: Big Sun, Small Moon” is a hands-on activity that explores the concept of apparent size and allows visitors to experience this phenomena using familiar objects—a tennis bal

Getting Your Bearings
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of friction and how ball bearings reduce friction.

Base Station Walk-Back
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will train to improve lung, heart, and other muscle endurance as they walk a progressive, measured distance.

Exploring Earth: Land Cover
Source Institutions
This activity models some of the ways natural processes, such as erosion and sediment pollution, affect Earth’s landscape.

Making Sense of Sensors
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

Antibody Builder
Source Institutions
Learners use Duplo bricks to build antibodies with shapes that match model viruses.

Test Density with a Supersaturated Solution
Source Institutions
Learners create three solutions with different levels of salinity. They compare the density of these solutions by coloring them and layering them in a clear plastic cup and in a soda bottle.

Edible Earth
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a model of the solid Earth's layers that's good enough to eat! Learners use tasty foodstuffs to simulate Earth's inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust.

Equatorial Sundial
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make an equatorial sundial, which is simple to construct and teaches fundamental astronomical concepts. Learners use the provided template and a straw to build the sundial.

Avogadro's Bubbly Adventure
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

Critical Load
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concepts of structural engineering and how to measure the critical load, or the maximum weight a structure can bear.

Plankton Feeding
Source Institutions
This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.
