In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the composition of unseen materials using a variety of tools.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners conduct experiments to explore where dragonflies and damselflies perch or rest, and how the flies change behavior in reaction to other flies or fly decoys

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites), learners will witness firsthand the effects of Bernoulli’s Principle by capturing a ping pong ball in the stream of air created b

Learners imagine they are paleontologists in Florida, where they find (remove from envelope) paper "fossils" of some unknown creature, only a few at a time.

In this activity, learners observe as soap bubbles float on a cushion of carbon dioxide gas. Learners blow bubbles into an aquarium filled with a slab of dry ice.

In this forensics activity, students will explore the methods that investigators use to confirm the authenticity of handwriting.

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

Working in groups, learners model the continuous destruction and creation of ozone (O3) molecules, which occur in the ozone layer.

In this activity, learners model how the Moon's volcanic period reshaped its earlier features.

In this indoor or outdoor demonstration, use a large and small ball to illustrate conservation of energy and momentum.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing tube zithers, stringed instruments from Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.

In this demonstration, learners attempt to get a large coin through a small hole, the size of a smaller coin.

In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

In this activity, learners trap a thin layer of air between two pieces of Plexiglas to produce rainbow-colored interference patterns.

In this multi-station lab, learners conduct a series of experiments to explore the processes and effects of weathering and erosion.

In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

In this activity, pairs of learners model how scientists use craters to determine the ages of lunar surfaces. One partner keeps time while the other creates a painting for the other to interpret.

In this activity, learners sample a star field to estimate the number of stars in the universe.

In this activity, learners will take a step back and learn the history of the land they live on, and the people who used to live on it.

This activity is a sensory experience that recreates the sounds of a pond at night.
