In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF), learners make a "mini-globe" to investigate the causes of day and night on our planet.

This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.

In this activity, learners investigate the formation of craters. Learners will examine how the size, angle and speed of a meteorite's impact affects the properties of craters.

In this activity, learners explore how to protect their skin while applying pesticides to plants.

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

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Water Clean-up Activity) about the use of reduction agents to decontaminate ground water.

In this activity, learners discuss the different salinities of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

This activity uses Jell-O(R) to introduce learners to microfluidics, the flow of fluids through microscopic channels.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

In this activity, learners investigate Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPM) and then work in teams using a pencil to explore and identify the shape of objects they cannot see, just as SPMs do at the nano

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

This activity is about collecting and analyzing DNA as part of a criminal investigation.

In this online interactive simulation, learners will add different salts to water and then watch the salts dissolve and achieve a dynamic equilibrium with solid precipitate.

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

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 train to increase bone strength and to improve heart and other muscle endurance by performing jump training with a rope, both while stationary and moving.

Learners create their own piece of history by decorating, shattering, and piecing together a flowerpot "artifact".

In this experiment, learners work in pairs to create two gloves -- one that contains a layer of shortening (blubber) inside, and one that doesn't.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forensics) is a full inquiry investigation into how hairs from a crime scene are matched to suspects.

In this simulation, learners explore how ocean currents spread all kinds of pollution—including oil spills, sewage, pesticides and factory waste—far beyond where the pollution originates.
