In this activity, learners use models of fossilized dinosaur teeth to understand how dinosaur teeth were used.

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

In this environmental science activity (page 3 of the PDF), leaners will identify and explain the causes of erosion.

In this activity, learners discover how to determine the distance to a lightning strike or nearby thunderstorm.

Learners compare the weight of equal volumes of wax, water, and clay. Learners discover that since the wax weighs less than an equal volume of water, it is less dense than water and will float.

Learners will compare the growth rate and appearance of crystals forming on small rocks to those growing on miscellaneous objects. Learners will also investigate how temperature (warm vs.

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.

Ocean acidification is a problem that humans will have to deal with as we release more and more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

In this activity about soil (page 7 of the PDF), learners will use their sense of touch as well as sight to understand how soil is classified based on texture and other details.

In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.

In this activity (located on page 6 of the PDF), learners explore the ways people access water in their homes.

In this activity, learners simulate nature's water filtration system by devising a system that will filter out both visible and invisible pollutants from water.

In this indoor and/or outdoor activity, learners make an anemometer (an instrument to measure wind speed) out of a protractor, a ping pong ball and a length of thread or fishing line.

This activity (page 3 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs) is a full inquiry investigation into fossil hunting and identification.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

This activity encourages learners to focus on the natural environment of the Eastern Woodlands before the arrival of European settlers.

In this pencil and paper activity, learners work in pairs and simulate how astronomical spacecraft and computers create images of objects in space.

In this activity, learners will examine various world data maps to combine the information and predict which areas could be tropical rainforests.

Learners create a model of a wetland to observe how it absorbs and filters water from the environment.

In this activity, learners discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.
