This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hovercraft) is a full inquiry investigation into hovercraft engineering and design optimization.

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

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 math lesson, learners estimate distances between landmarks and use a map and scales to determine the actual distances.

In this activity, learners build handheld rockets and launchers out of PVC pipes and plastic bottles. Use this activity to demonstrate acceleration, air pressure, and Newton's Laws of Motion.

In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

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

In this activity, learners explore the concept of valve operation and how engineers have adapted valves for use in mechanical heart valve design.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.

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.

In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.

In this highly physical outdoor activity, learners construct and compare experimental trail sections to select the best trail-construction technique for their site.
