Space Guess Quest is a fun game that encourages participants to identify the many types of objects in space, from human-made spacecraft to nebulas, galaxies, stars, and worlds.

Using a vertical wind tube and using simple materials, individuals and groups attempt to design a "satellite" that floats for at least 5 seconds.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides), learners will whip up some suds with a cup of water and a tablespoon of dish soap until the bubbles are stiff enough to star

This game is like regular bingo, except the clues are sounds.

In this math activity (Page 8 of the Dining Out! PDF), younger learners select items from a menu and count out the total amount needed using the fewest bills and coins possible.

In this physics activity, learners will gain a better understanding of how friction, inertia, and mass affect objects.

In this activity (located on page 4 of PDF), learners gain insight into the actual size of dinosaurs and practice making estimations and measurements.

In this activity, learners explore light and shadows by creating a lantern they can keep on their nightstand.

In this activity, learners mix several sugar solutions to investigate the property of density. Each sugar solution has a different density and color of the rainbow.

In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

In this activity, learners build and test a compass. Learners work in pairs and pretend they are stuck in the wilderness at night.

In an investigation called "Shape It!" learners craft tiny boats out of clay, set them afloat on water and then add weight loads to them, in order to explore: how objects stay afloat in water; what th

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a planktonic organism that will neither float like a cork nor sink like a stone.

In this tabletop board game, players will represent a team of scientists and engineers sending a spacecraft on a mission to space.

During this lesson, learners will determine their blood pressure and learn about systolic and diastolic pressures.

Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.

In the related activity called "Colors Collide or Combine," learners are intrigued by the apparent "line" that forms where colors from M&M coatings meet but do not mix.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

In this activity, learners construct three optical illusion toys to examine how our brains play tricks on what we see.

In this genetics meets math activity, learners take inventories of their own easily-observable genetic traits and compare those inventories with other learners in groups.
