In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

In this activity, learners string a line across the room and build cable cars that can move from on end to the other.

In this activity about saturation (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes), learners will build a series of sand castle towers using a 16 oz cup.

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.

In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete

This activity is a hit for family events and all ages—some will finish in 45 minutes; others can go on for hours.

In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.

In this experiment, learners investigate how the size of a wing affects lift. Learners count the number of pennies an egg crate plane wing can hold until the plane will no longer fly.

In this activity, learners build a mini dancing robot. This engineering activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, switches, conductivity, and motors.
