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

In this activity (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause

In this activity, learners examine antibodies and antibody recognition using a model.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

Learners design different shaped bandages for different purposes. First, they draw their designs on paper.

In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues.

Learners compare the properties and solubilities of Styrofoam (TM), ecofoam packing peanuts, and popcorn. First, the solubility of each substance is tested in water.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering has made possible the development of--and ongoing improvements to--adaptive devices that serve to help individuals with a wide range o

In this activity, learners solidify their conceptualization of cells by building a model of a cell in a ziplock bag.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Music and Sound) is a full inquiry investigation into sound frequency.

In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.

In this inquiry-based activity, learners investigate the basic forces of flight as they construct their own paper glider that represents a rainforest creature from Borneo (large, tropical island in So

In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a four-stringed instrument that can play a tune.

In this activity, learners visualize the differences in water density and relate this to the potential consequences of increased glacial melting.

In this activity about olfaction (7th activity on the page), learners use natural ingredients to concoct their own perfume.

In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

In this activity, learners will estimate how many seeds are in a fruit or vegetable, then count to find out. The result: mix estimation with healthy eating.
