This activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory) is a full inquiry investigation into the effects of exercise on short term memory.

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

In this outdoor game, learners role play predator and prey to explore the importance of keen hearing and silent stalking skills in the animal world.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

During this interactive "survival" game, students learn about the importance of camouflage and how it helps animals to blend into their surroundings, as either predator or prey.

In this set of outdoor games, learners play the role of monkeys that are trying to get enough resources (food, shelter, and space) to survive.

In this physics activity, learners construct a small-scale version of a classic carnival game.

In this matching game, learners study the limits of life on Earth to see what other places in the solar system might sustain microbial life.

In this optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out why two eyes are better than one!

In this activity, learners follow clues to find five puzzle pieces, then assemble them. This activity works well with a whole group, individuals, or families.

This activity puts a mathematical twist on the familiar “guessing jar.” No guesses allowed, estimates only.

Teams of learners use a series of stick figures made from pipe cleaners to model a dance routine. Then, they use this model to communicate to another learner who performs the dance routine.

Birds' beaks are designed to allow birds to get the most of whatever food they need. In this activity, learners get an idea of how different beak shapes suit different food sources.

Learners make a counting/estimating jar to exchange with friends or bring home.

In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.

In this quick activity (page 2 of PDF), learners will play a game using their observation and listening skills, interpreting clues from each other to deduce their secret animal identity.

In this outdoor game, learners simulate a herd of deer trying to survive in an area called the "home range." Learners explore the concept of "carrying capacity"—what size population of an organism can

In this activity (26th on the page), learners construct an easy-to-build device and test motor learning.

In this set of outdoor games, learners increase their awareness of the outdoor environment by going on a scavenger hunt and an out-of-place hunt.

In this interactive board game, learners "hire" different types of scientists to help canine character Ruff Ruffman solve unusual problems.
