In this on site "field trip" activity (located on pages 6-9 of PDF), learners get hands-on experience identifying building materials by playing "Building Bingo".

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War) is a full inquiry investigation into tug-of-war physics. Groups of learners will test two tug-of-war strategies.

How do you measure a bubble when it's floating? You can't really, but in this activity, learners can measure the diameter of the ring of suds a bubble leaves on a flat surface.

In this three-part activity, learners play a game and conduct two simple experiments to explore water and surface tension. Learners will have fun discovering how water "sticks" together.

In this activity, learners play a game and use pattern blocks to explore mirror images and reflection.

This is an online Flash game where learners can experiment with ballistics and how to compensate for the varying levels of gravity found on the planets of our Solar System.

In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.

Build your own version of a favorite carnival game, in which a marble races down a maze consisting of rows of nails.

In this game, learners try to find nano-related objects on a game board. Learners investigate the different ways nano is in the world around us.

This game introduces learners to the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and prevent climate change.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.

Use the Zoo Calendar (page 1 of PDF) to involve learners in interdisciplinary, whole language, and writing activities about ecological concepts.

In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this activity learners will build structures out of blocks and then roll balls to try to knock them down.

In this activity (16th on the page), learners play a variation of the "I Spy" game to explore color. Learners work in teams with each team assigned a color.

In this activity, young learners use their sense of touch rather than sight to identify a mystery object in a bag. Learners take turns acting as "peekers" and "sensers" throughout the game.

This is an online game about stopping distance. Learners choose one of three vehicles and one of three speeds.

In this activity, learners will trick out their bike with crafts and flair. Learners will explore symmetry, cause and effect and design through this activity.

This is a quick game about self-assembly (page 2 of PDF under Self-Assembly Activity). Like the molecules of DNA, learners will self-assemble into a pattern by following a simple set of rules.
