This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

In this activity (page 105 of the PDF), learners measure heart rate and blood pressure and learn how to obtain consistent measurements during repeated tests.

In this activity (page 37 of the PDF), learners observe, on a prepared slide, muscle and spinal cord cells from a rat.

In this three-part activity, learners play a game and conduct two simple experiments to explore water and surface tension. Learners will have fun discovering how water "sticks" together.

This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Bone Regrowth Activity) about the two main components of bone - collagen and minerals (like calcium) - and how they each contribute to its flexibility a

In this math activity, learners play a game and identify patterns with fun moves and sounds. Discover how dancing and signing involve patterns.

In this design challenge activity, learners add headphones to a previously built instrument (see "Build a Band" activity) to make it easier to hear.

In this activity, learners design a crushing test and discover that identifying and controlling the variables may be difficult.

This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this activity, learners create volcanoes like those they have examined on Earth and Mars through images taken by spacecraft.

In this activity, learners compare the number of letters in the names of the people in their families or group of friends.

In this activity, learners investigate whether having sugar already dissolved in water affects the speed of dissolving and the movement of sugar and color through the water.

In this very hands-on lesson, learners will investigate dendrochronology (the study of tree rings to answer ecological questions about the recent past) and come up with conclusions as to what possible

In this activity, learners build and play three math games. In the first game, called "Switcheroo," learners place marbles in holes 1 through 4 and 7 through 10.

In this activity, learners work in pairs to measure each other's ankles with lengths of string.

In this activity, learners create a CloudSpotter wheel and record the different types of clouds they observe twice daily over several days.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War) is a full inquiry investigation into tug-of-war physics. Groups of learners will test two tug-of-war strategies.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how forensic investigators collect prints from a crime scene. Learners make hand impressions in damp sand and analyze the patterns they observe.
