Bird Watching
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will observe birds in their backyard or local park. They will attempt to find common Ohio birds and will look for bird behaviors just like an ornithologist.

Evolution in Action: Isolation and Speciation in the Lower Congo River
Source Institutions
In this guided discussion activity, learners watch a video about Central Africa's Lower Congo River, one of the most biologically diverse rivers in the world.

Food Chains
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore the roles of different animals in the food chain. They will create their own food chain using organisms of their choice.

Making a Field Journal
Source Institutions
In this activity, Christina Elson, an archaeologist from the American Museum of Natural History, guides learners as they investigate an "artifact" and record their observations in a field journal.

Measure Your Ability to See
Source Institutions
In this exercise (Activity #2 on page), learners test their distance vision to evaluate their overall eyesight.

Brain Box (Bag) of Science
Source Institutions
In this neuroscience activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore their sense of touch without using their senses of vision and hearing.

Create a Coral Reef
Source Institutions
Educator Amy O'Donnell from the American Museum of Natural History guides learners to create a diorama of a coral reef.

Hand Biometrics Technology
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers incorporate biometric technologies into products as well as the challenges of engineers who must weigh privacy, security and other issues when designin

The Vaccine & You
Source Institutions
In this card-based personal choice activity, learners review and sort COVID-19 and vaccine science information.

Head, Shoulder, Knees and Toes...and Hands, Fingers and Back
Source Institutions
Are fingers the only place on the body where we use our sense of touch? In this activity (6th activity on the page), learners test the touch sensitivity of different parts of the body.

Chemistry Makes Scents
Source Institutions
In "Chemistry Makes Scents," participants use their noses to distinguish between chemicals with very similar structures.

Aerial Imagery
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Earthquakes) is a full inquiry investigation into aerial imagery.

Blue Sky
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners explore why the sky is blue and the sunset is red, using a simple setup comprising a transparent plastic box, water, and powdered milk.

Sequence Bracelets
Source Institutions
In this craft-based activity, learners make DNA sequence bracelets that carry the code of an organism such as a human, trout, chimpanzee or butterfly.

A Better Fly Trap
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe fly behavior and then build a flytrap.

Running on Empty
Source Institutions
In this exercise and nutrition activity, learners will explore how food is the fuel that powers them. They will create a chart to figure out how many calories they burn during recess.

What Do You Know About Microbes?
Source Institutions
This is a series of quick activities/demos and pre-assessment tools that evaluate learners' current understanding of microbes and introduce them to basic information about microbes.

Oscillating Woodpecker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will experiment with the physics of forces - kinetic energy and friction while making a moving toy woodpecker.

Energy Sources
Source Institutions
In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 5 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to compare how much energy is released as heat from two different foods.

Pollution Diffusion
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to investigate how pollution diffuses through ground material.
