Touch Down
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” when they land.
Fossil Age Estimation Model
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs), learners will model how paleontologists estimate the age of fossil discoveries by extracting “fossil” playing cards from newspa
Design a Park
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!
Environmental Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity with several mini experiments, learners explore the chemistry that helps scientists learn about the environment and how they can help save it.
Building with Wonderful Junk
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.
Popsicle Bridge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovative designs and the challenge of creating bridges that become landmarks for a cit
Maritime Munchies
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners follow simple historical maritime recipes to cook up hardtack and swanky, and then compare the foods they eat to what was served on ships in the past.
