Learners place their hands on different metals and use an ammeter to monitor the flow of electricity from one metal to another.

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF), learners make their own totem poles out of recycled materials.

In this activity (on pages 25-32 of PDF), learners make models of the inner ear out of pipe cleaners.

The popular sudoku puzzles use numbers, but the game could played with any set of 9 different objects!

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

In this activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will observe both a chemical and a physical change.

In this activity related to the famous "Stroop Effect," learners explore how words influence what we see and how the brain handles "mixed messages." Learners read colored words and are asked to say th

In this physics activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will construct their own walkalong glider. They will explore how air, though invisible, surrounds and affects other objects.

In this optics activity, learners examine how a transparent material such as glass or water can actually reflect light better than any mirror.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners find their blind spot--the area on the retina without receptors that respond to light.

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

In this laboratory experiment, learners explore how effectively different sunscreens protect yeast cells from damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

In this activity (12th on the page), learners investigate their ability to discriminate (see) different colors.

In this hands-on activity, learners make New Year's Eve party hats out of wrapping paper. Learners use symmetry and measurement to cut out shapes they need to assemble the hats.

In this activity (6th on the page), learners investigate how photoreceptors in the eye (rods and cones) "adapt" to low light conditions.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore model planets (that they or an educator will create), using methods NASA scientists use to explore our Solar System.

In this outdoor art/environmental activity, learners create designs that will attract attention to animals and plants in particular habitats, and then test whether their designs attracted the "right"

In this game (4th activity on the page) about hearing, learners test their ability to identify various sounds without looking.

In this activity (on page 2), learners create a submarine using a plastic cup. This is a fun way to learn about buoyancy and density.
