In this archaeology activity, learners consider ways in which excavating an underwater site is different from excavating a terrestrial site.

In this outdoor beach activity, learners use a variety of "beaks" (such as trowels, spoons or sticks) to hunt for organisms that shore birds might eat.

This is an activity about the adaptations that allow the Aye-aye to survive in its habitat. Learners will explore how the Aye-aye collects food and how this is influenced by their specialized finger.

In this math lesson, learners compare products to determine the best product.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore insulation. Leaners investigate how insulation can be used to slow down the conduction of heat from one side of a wall to the other.

In this nutrition and estimation activity (page 12 of PDF), learners estimate serving sizes of different foods and compare their estimates to serving size information provided on nutrition food labels

In this health activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will explore a unique connection betweeen the bones of the body.

In this activity about human anatomy (page 20 of PDF), learners investigate the structure of muscles by comparing yarn and cooked meat.

In this activity, learners are challenged, using everyday objects, to create simple machines to complete specific tasks.

In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Earthquakes), learners will use a magnifier to carefully examine samples of sand from different locations.

In this outdoor activity and fun race, learners first find the most common type of tree in a forest site.

In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to look over ledges or around corners.

In this activity learners will build a neighborhood out of blocks and cardboard.

In this math lesson, learners participate in several activities where they apply measurement skills.

In this activity, learners use a microscope to examine three different microbes: bacteria, yeast and paramecia. Educator will need to prepare the yeast solution one day before the activity.

In this activity, learners create their own archaeological profiles.

In this activity, learners build a water squirter using a PVC pipe, dowel, and foam. This activity is great for the summer time and introduces learners to forces and water pressure.

In this four-part activity, learners explore how the body works and the chemistry that happens inside living things.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into Bernoulli’s principle and airplane wings.

In this activity, learners build small indoor paper rockets, determine their flight stability, and launch them by blowing air through a drinking straw.
