Right Foot/Left Foot
Source Institutions
In this activity (2nd on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which foot is more dominant. In other words, are they right-footed or left-footed?

Batter Up!
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how "bounciness" relates to the distance a ball will fly when hit off a batting tee.

Right Hand/Left Hand
Source Institutions
In this activity (1st on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which of their hands is more dominant. In other words, are they right-handed or left-handed?

Ball Bounce Experiment
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the properties of different types of balls.

Take a Hike!: A Family Forest Walk
Source Institutions
In this family or group inquiry activity, learners use their senses to explore a local forest or woodland.

Space Stations: Bones of Contention
Source Institutions
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.

Exercise and Memory
Source Institutions
This activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory) is a full inquiry investigation into the effects of exercise on short term memory.
Enhanced Water Taste Test
Learners conduct a "blind" taste-test of several types of enhanced or fitness water drinking water that has commercially added substances like vitamins, sugars, or herbs.

Hot and Cold
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners discover that many chemical reactions involve heat loss or gain.

Mega Bounce
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

Super Bounce
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

Bouncing Balloons
Source Institutions
In this sports-themed engineering activity, learners create super bouncy balls out of balloons. Learners brainstorm, test their designs, and share results.

Workin' It Out
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how to stay fit the fun way. Learners participate in three physical activities.
Five Second Dash
Source Institutions
This is an activity about prediction. How far can you hop in 5 seconds? Could you make it to the door? Across the room? Everyone lines up and tries it.

Parabola Basketball
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

Cardiac Hill
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity linking human health to the environment, learners use their pulse rates as a measure of the effort expended in walking on different slopes.

Crunch Time
Source Institutions
In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty 2-liter bottles and hot tap water to illustrate the effect of heat on pressure.

Get-Moving Game
Source Institutions
In this invention challenge activity, learners create an indoor game for one or two people that gets you moving.

Race for Survival
Source Institutions
During this interactive "survival" game, students learn about the importance of camouflage and how it helps animals to blend into their surroundings, as either predator or prey.

Pedal Power
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners examine bicycle mechanics and gear ratios. Learners determine which gears will help them bike a set course in the shortest amount of time.
