In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners locate and study plants and animals in several freshwater pond habitats.

In this outdoor activity, learners use a mapping technique to become oriented to the major features of an outdoor site.

Make a kite out of a garbage bag, shower curtain, painting tarp--anything light, thin, flexible and plastic!

In this playful, goopy activity, learners mix two liquids to create a solid (that sometimes acts like a liquid ), using basic household materials such as borax and glue.

In this activity, learners make a scale model of the Solar System and learn the real definition of "space." Learners use the online calculator to create an appropriate scale to use as a basis for thei

In this creative activity, learners will find out what makes an insect an insect by studying examples of insect adaptations and by examining why there are so many different types of insects.

In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.

This activity is a hit for family events and all ages—some will finish in 45 minutes; others can go on for hours.

In this activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.

In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.

In this engineering activity, learners design and build a mechanical arm to lift a small item.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick) is a full inquiry investigation into transfer of motion.

In this activity on page 10 of the PDF, learners detect the amount of energy that can flow through a sodium chloride electrolyte solution with a light sensor.

In this activity, learners will explore globes of frozen water to learn how to ask and then answer 'investigable' questions. The activity web page includes a short video demonstration.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners collect and sort leaf samples to determine how many types of plants grow in the activity site.

In this activity, learners incorporate a simple switch into a battery/bulb circuit. Learners will use their knowledge of circuits to design and make their own switches using common materials.

In this outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

Play-Doh is conductive! Use the semiconductive qualities of Play-Doh to make your own squeezable instrument. Pico Cricket is required.

In this outdoor activity, learners use artificial bees and paper models of flowers to find out how bees transfer pollen from one flower to another.

In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.
