Irrigation Ideas
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how civil engineers solved the challenge of moving water via irrigation.

Give Me a Brake
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of how brakes can stop or slow mechanical motion.

Super Golf Tower
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, challenge learners to build a tower out of 10 sheets of newspaper and 3 feet of masking tape, which can hold a golf ball balancing at the top.

Sand Grain Observations
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Earthquakes), learners will use a magnifier to carefully examine samples of sand from different locations.

How Our Environment Affects Color Vision
Source Institutions
In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.

Wolf Limiting Factors
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate a wolf and its habitat and observe what happens when the limiting factors change over time.

Multitasking Mania
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct scientific research on multitasking. Learners determine if multitasking with media while doing homework affects their ability to successfully complete the homework.

Paper Cup Stool
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

Personal Fan
Source Institutions
Cool off in the heat with this project! Learners use simple materials to build a fan that runs on a motor.

To Topo Two
Source Institutions
In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

Auditory Acuity
Source Institutions
This activity (8th activity on the page) tests learners' ability to identify things using only the sense of hearing.
Size Them Up: Learning About Volume and Capacity
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will put a set of containers in order by capacity. Would the tallest container hold more or less water than the wide, short one?

Take Out the Trash
Source Institutions
Learners explore how recyclers take advantage of the different properties of materials, such as magnetism and density, to separate them from a mixture.
Fair Shares: Predict Equal Shares
Source Institutions
Use this activity to build division and number sense into any snack time or whenever there is a limited set of things to share among a group: If we deal these out, could everyone get two pieces?

Science Cooks!
Source Institutions
In this health, cooking, and math activity, learners explore nutrition and examine nutrition labels.

Paddle Power
Source Institutions
In this design challenge, learners build a boat that paddles itself using a rubber band as its power source.

Hidden Alarm
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners invent a device that will make their friends and family ask, "What's buzzing?" Learners design an alarm with an on/off switch that is small enough to hide.

That's the Way the Ball Bounces: Level 1
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, size, and bounce height.

What does Color have to do with Cooling?
Source Institutions
In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

¡Huellas Digitales!
Source Institutions
En esta actividad, los aprendices leen sobre como Mateo y Cientina conducen una investigación forense para descubrir quien llevó unos dulces.
