In this activity, learners discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

In this activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.

In this space science activity, learners work together to create a human-powered orrery to model the movements of the four inner planets.

In this activity, learners create a sealed, mini ecosystem that supplies freshwater shrimp with food, oxygen, and waste processing for at least three months.

In this activity (on pages 12-15), learners make a crater model and test the effects of weather (rain) on its surface.

Learners create their own piece of history by decorating, shattering, and piecing together a flowerpot "artifact".

In this activity (on page 4), learners create a submarine using a plastic sandwich bag. This is a fun way to learn about buoyancy and how captured gas can cause objects to float.

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 create a tornado in a bottle to observe a spiraling, funnel-shaped vortex. A simple connector device allows water to drain from a 2-liter bottle into a second bottle.

In this board game, learners explore the origins of meteors, meteoroids, and meteorites as well as the their characteristics and importance. They also discover some misconceptions about meteors.

In this activity, learners build a tool called an inclinometer that can find the height of any distant object, from a tree to the North Star.

In this activity, learners make flipbooks of drawings showing the progression of a Total Solar Eclipse.

Learners listen to and try to decipher a radio message that was sent from Earth to possible intelligent civilizations.

In this activity, learners make their own flip book that shows real solar flares erupting from the Sun in November 2000. Step-by-step instructions are included with photos.

In "Exploring the Solar System: Mars Rovers," participants learn about how scientists and engineers use robotic rovers and other vehicles to explore distant worlds, and experience some of the challeng

This is an activity to do when there is a solar eclipse!

Space Guess Quest is a fun game that encourages participants to identify the many types of objects in space, from human-made spacecraft to nebulas, galaxies, stars, and worlds.

In this on site "field trip" activity (located on pages 6-9 of PDF), learners get hands-on experience identifying building materials by playing "Building Bingo".

In this activity, learners test to see if carbon dioxide is present in the air we breathe in and out by using a detector made from red cabbage.
