Dueling Dice
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore probability with dice.

Magnet Races
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore how similar magnetic poles repel one another. They will rely on linear induction to race magnets around a simple course.

Build a Rocket - and a Launch Pad!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a rocket powered by the pressure generated from an effervescing antacid tablet reacting with water, and build a launch pad for their rocket.

Corner Reflector
Source Institutions
In this optics/mathematics activity, learners use two hinged mirrors to create a kaleidoscope that shows multiple images of an object.

Disappearing Statues
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

Bobbing Eyeballs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple materials and basic tools to construct a special toy to explore pendulums. As the head of the toy bobs one way, the eyeballs bob the other way.

Bird in the Cage
Source Institutions
In this activity about afterimages, learners explore what happens when receptor cells called cones in your eye's retina get tired.

Endurance: How Many Can You Do in a Row?
Source Institutions
Combine math and exercise with this activity. Learners count how many times in a row they can skip rope or throw and catch a ball.

Wave on Wave
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use raisins and seltzer water to understand why waves don’t move objects forward. Learners conduct two simple experiments to understand the circular movement of waves.

Twirling Rope Frequency
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch), learners will stand twelve feet apart swinging a rope at the slowest tempo possible while someone uses a stopwatch to record

Convection Current
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make their own heat waves in an aquarium.

The Shadow Knows II
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

Three Little Pigs Construction Company
Source Institutions
In this activity about problem-solving, learners build a house for the Three Little Pigs using twenty straws and two index cards.

Ice Tower Excavation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will pretend to be archaeologist using this chilling experience.

Weather Stations: Storms
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test how cornstarch and glitter in water move when disturbed. Learners compare their observations with videos of Jupiter's and Earth's storm movements.

Why Does the Moon Have Phases?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

Creating Craters
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will investigate how craters are made and the different factors that contribute to size left from the impact.

Making Vocal Cords
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners imitate the way vocal cords work by building a model from a plastic cup, rubber band, and a straw.

Kid Moon: Splat!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model ancient lunar impacts using water balloons.

Pickle-oh!: Musical Pickle Instrument
Source Institutions
What's a Pickle-Oh? Two pieces of pickle on a stick are connected to a Pico Cricket (micro controller). When you slide the pickles apart the note changes.
