In this activity about sleep rhythms (on page 21 of the PDF), learners will collect data about their own sleep cycles and use a fraction wheel to examine their data.

Over the course of several days, learners explore the property of water that helps plants move water from roots to leaves or gives paper towels the capacity to soak up water.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Roller Coaster Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into g-force and acceleration.

In this simple activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a crystal garden using salt, water, and a brick.

In this multi-station lab, learners conduct a series of experiments to explore the processes and effects of weathering and erosion.

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 chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners corrode a penny in a cup with vinegar, salt water, and a source of iron (nails, paper clips, or twist ties).

In this activity, learners investigate the impact of oil pollution on the environment and wildlife. Learners use hard-boiled eggs and feathers to understand the damage that oil spills can cause.

In this activity, learners investigate the movement caused by dispersion. Learners discover that dispersion is the random movement of objects.

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

In this two-part activity, learners compare and contrast a variety of life cycles to better understand different organisms and how they develop.

In this activity, learners will simulate the processes of the water cycle at home in a plastic sandwich bag.

In this activity on page 8 of the PDF (Behind the Scenes with Chemistry), learners make three of Harry Potter's essential school supplies: quills, ink, and color-changing paper.

In this chemistry activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will identify the instances of physical change, chemical change, and solutions while making homemade soda pop.

In this activity, learners will discover how the thin layers of amphibians' skin allow water and other chemicals to pass through it.

In this activity (located at the bottom of the page), learners investigate soil and explore the creatures that live in it.

In this activity, learners will collect, dry and press seaweed over the course of four days in a similar way that artists/crafters press flowers.

In this activity, learners create a freshwater ecosystem in a large plastic bottle. Learners cut and prepare bottles, then fill with water, aquatic plants, snails and fish.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners keep a "SLOG" or Sleep Log to study their sleep patterns.

This is a hands-on activity that uses bread and household materials to grow mold. Learners collect dust from a room, wipe it on food, and contain it. One to seven days later, mold has grown.
