Make a kite out of a garbage bag, shower curtain, painting tarp--anything light, thin, flexible and plastic!

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

In this activity, learners use simple, everyday materials to experiment with balls and ramps.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent an emergency shelter that can fit a person and is sturdy and quick to build.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF SciGirls Activity: Milk Carton Boat) is a full inquiry investigation into boat hull design.

In this activity, learners make a parachute out of tissue paper, tape, and string. Then, learners test their parachute to see how many paper clips it can carry.

In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have improved roofing designs and materials in order to protect the contents of buildings.
