Constellation Chamber
Source Institutions
Learners build 3D representations of constellations, which show not just the position of the stars as seen from Earth but also their relative distance from Earth.

Cook Up a Comet
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

Raceways
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a model roller coaster to help the Mummy entertain the Atom's Family monsters. Learners assemble the roller coaster between two chairs using vinyl ceiling molding.

Clay Beams and Columns
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

The Parachuting Egg
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.

Modeling the Night Sky
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners explore the Earth and Sun's positions in relation to the constellations of the ecliptic with a small model.
Plants: Hanging Tough
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners will become familiar with the special adaptations of rainforest plants and discover the conditions needed for tropical trees to survive along with what can impinge

To Topo Two
Source Institutions
In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).
Leaves: Designing Leaf Arrangements on a Branch
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners investigate the functional design of leaves on a tree.

Marble Run!
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Luge) is a full inquiry-based challenge related to motion and design optimization.

Atoms and Matter (K-2)
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.

Reason for the Seasons
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 6 of the PDF), learners plot the path of the sun's apparent movement across the sky on two days, with the second day occurring two or three months after the first.
Build a Bridge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use recycled materials to build a bridge that holds as many potatoes as possible. They investigate weight, height, strength, and measurement as they seek design solutions.

Block Neighborhood
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will build a neighborhood out of blocks and cardboard.

Slimy Cells
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners solidify their conceptualization of cells by building a model of a cell in a ziplock bag.

Fossil Dig Site
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

Prepare for a Dock Shop Field Trip
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore what makes a boat float and sink. They examine and test various objects to determine why objects float or sink.

Candy Chemosynthesis
Source Institutions
In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

Puppet Play
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make a marionette puppet and put on a show. Learners will explore color, design, fabrication and storytelling through this activity.

Garden Poles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.
