In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.

Learners make their own simple slide rules out of paper and learn how they work.

In this math game, learners throw dice and place the numbers in one of four boxes. Learners repeat this three more times and the learner with the largest four digit numbers is the winner.

Design a vessel that tests the limits of wind power given a set of off the shelf and recycled materials.

Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

In this engineering activity, learners design their own board games.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design) is a full inquiry investigation into absorption and reflection of radiant energy.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of friction and how ball bearings reduce friction.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this physics activity, learners assemble and/or investigate a pendulum "snake." Several large steel hex-nuts are suspended on strings of successively increasing length to form a series of pendulums

In this activity about transfer of energy, learners get to build their own catapult using nothing more than a plastic spoon and some tape.

In this hands-on activity, learners use an assortment of (mainly household) items to complete Rube Goldberg-type challenges.

Learners describe objects in a room using only numbers and shapes. They can measure the object (like a desk) and make a list of facts about it (e.g.

In this online game, learners must purchase power plants for their city.

Based of the The Tech Challenge 2015, learners will engage in two mini-design challenges related to seismic engineering.

In this activity, learners design a bungee jump for an egg using nylon stockings.

In this hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.

In this simple activity, learners discover how a mere piece of paper can be used to hold up the weight of a heavy book.

Have you noticed the plastic rings that are used to hold six-packs of soda? Those rings are great for carrying cans, but they're real trouble when they become trash that animals can get tangled in.
