Toilet Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, PVC pipe, plastic water bottles and vinyl tubing are used to make a simple working toilet model. The model shows the role of a siphon in the flushing of a toilet.

Liquid Crystals Interact with Light!
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners explore the properties of liquid crystals, which are responsible for why mood rings change color.

Atmospheric Collisions
Source Institutions
In this activity/demonstration, learners observe what happens when two ping pong balls are suspended in the air by a hair dryer. Use this activity to demonstrate how rain drops grow by coalescence.

Paper Airplanes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the properties of paper by constructing and modifying paper airplanes.

Wind Power: Creating a Wind Generator
Source Institutions
This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

3...2...1 Puff!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build small indoor paper rockets, determine their flight stability, and launch them by blowing air through a drinking straw.

Red, White and Blue II Demonstration
Source Institutions
In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the rule "likes dissolve likes" by combining three, immiscible liquids to create a colorful density column.

Stream Table
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use aluminum trays and wooden blocks to form stream tables to investigate river formations in two different landscape scenarios.

Terrestrial Hi-Lo Hunt
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

Searching for Life
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discuss how life is defined and conduct a simple experiment, looking for signs of life in three different “soil” samples.

Sensory Hi-Lo Hunt
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

Erupting Fizz
Source Institutions
This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

Cookie Surface Area
Source Institutions
This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.

Space Stations: Follow the Bouncing Ball!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners predict whether a ball on Earth or a ball on the Moon bounces higher when dropped and why.

Finding Colors
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners combine acids and bases in a universal indicator to create five different colors.

Squishy Soil
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will investigate the part of soil. Explore how clay, silt, and sand make up the dirt in your background. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.

Oboe? Oh, Boy!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a straw oboe to explore sound and pitch.

Weather Forecasting
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting) is a full inquiry investigation into meteorology and forecasting.

Breaking Beams
Learners investigate stress and strain by designing, building, and testing beams made from polymer clay.

Ready, Set, Fizz!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the chemical reaction between water and effervescent antacid tablets. This hands-on activity models how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.
