In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this indoor and/or outdoor activity, learners make an anemometer (an instrument to measure wind speed) out of a protractor, a ping pong ball and a length of thread or fishing line.

In this outdoor winter activity, learners search for and create hibernation sites that will protect gelatin "animals" from freezing.

In this activity, learners help identify native and non-native plant species, learn about invasive species, and determine how native plants provide a healthier habitat.

This is a quick activity that shows how large amounts of rock and sediment are added to the edge of continents during subduction.

This activity (page 3 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs) is a full inquiry investigation into fossil hunting and identification.

This activity gets learners looking at 6-sided shapes in nature, including the cells of a beehive, as well as other shapes.
