In this activity, learners mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.

By tossing, collecting, and sorting beanbags, learners understand how the IBEX spacecraft uses its sensors to detect and map the locations of particle types in the interstellar boundary.

In this activity, learners use a string and pair of scissors to find pi in the world all around them. Take the circumference of a round object with string and cut the string to that length.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

As learners play this challenging strategy game, they build understanding of area and perimeter. On each turn, a player draws a line between two dots next to each other on the grid.

In this activity (on pages 10-17), learners discover how scientists study biodiversity and the health of the environment based on inspection of small areas—a process known as sampling.

In this activity related to microbes, learners make slides of cells from an onion skin and Elodea (American or Canadian waterweed) to observe under a microscope.

In this activity (26th on the page), learners construct an easy-to-build device and test motor learning.

In this activity (pages 26-29 of the PDF), learners investigate how they can develop super memories by using mnemonic devices.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners explore circadian rhythms by keeping track of their body temperature.

Learners build and investigate pendulums of different lengths. They discover that the longer the string of the pendulum, the longer the time it takes to swing.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides) is a full inquiry investigation into speed and motion and takes place at a water park.

In this activity, learners try to put together toy bricks—wearing oven mitts on their hands! This activity shows learners how difficult it is to build small things when your tools are too big.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hockey) is a full inquiry investigation into how a hockey stick’s flex affects shooting power and accuracy.

In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

In this quick activity about predicting (located on page 2 of the PDF under Where's Nano?

In this chemistry activity, learners use the lowered freezing point of water to chill another mixture (ice cream) to the solid state.

On the first night, I saw 5 stars in the desert. On the second night, I saw 10… What do you think I saw on the third night? Combine arts and crafts, literacy, and math by making a counting book.

In this design and physics challenge, learners construct a cylindrical wing, fly it, make modifications, and determine how the changes affect flight patterns.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of their shadow from the Sun and compare it three to four months later.
