In this activity, learners discover how geologists use stratigraphy, the study of layered rock, to understand the sequence of geological events.

In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF), learners make a "mini-globe" to investigate the causes of day and night on our planet.

If a sailboat is stranded because there is no wind, is it possible to set up a fan on deck and blow wind into the sail to make the boat move?

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Water Clean-up Activity) about the use of reduction agents to decontaminate ground water.

In this activity, learners build models of atoms and molecules, then consider their role in different phases of matter, density, and mixtures and solutions.

In this activity, learners make models representing bones on Earth and bones that have been in space. They discover what happens to bones without proper exercise and nutrition.

In this activity, learners build an electric two-paddle boat using paint paddles, plastic knives, and empty water bottles.

In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.

In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.

In this activity, learners model the gravitational fields of planets on a flexible surface.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this activity, learners explore how casts of fossilized bones are created and used to learn about dinosaurs. Learners make observations, draw diagrams and share their findings.

In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War), learners will test how many pennies a flat paper index card bridging the gap between two stacks of books is able to supp

In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

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.

In this activity, learners build small indoor paper rockets, determine their flight stability, and launch them by blowing air through a drinking straw.

In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.

In this activity, learners create channel features with flowing water, comparing their observations to real images of Mars and Earth taken by satellites/orbiters.

In this activity, learners design, build and test wind turbines. Learners go through the design process and use the scientific method to test important blade variables.

In this activity, learners act as the Earth and observe how different angles between the Sun, Earth, and Moon affect the phases of the moon we see each month.
