In this activity, learners model the gravitational fields of planets on a flexible surface.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this activity about engineering, nutrition, and physical activity, learners design and build a healthy bone model of a space explorer which is strong enough to withstand increasing amounts of weigh

In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

In this activity, learners build edible models of Jupiter and Earth to compare their sizes and illustrate the planets' internal layers.

In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

In this activity, learners will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.

In this activity, learners cut out and fold their own collapsible origami starshade, an invention that shields a telescope's camera lens from the light of a distant star so that NASA scientists can ex

Learners use simple materials to construct a model the Big Dipper. Learners hang the model from a doorway or ceiling and look up at it to see the constellation as seen from Earth.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.

Using simple materials, learners will construct the end effector (grasping device) of a robotic arm and use the device to capture and pick up an object.
