In this activity, learners use cheap, thin plastic garbage bags to quickly build a solar hot air balloon. In doing so, learners will explore why hot air rises.

In this activity, multiple learners will use a game with ballloons to learn about coqui frog behavior.

In this activity, learners will go outside and create a constellation.

In this activity about gravity (page eight of the pdf), learners will very simply explore how gravity affects objects using balls and toys.

Before there were clocks, people used shadows to tell time. In this outdoor activity, learners will discover how to tell time using only a compass, a pencil, a handy printout, and a sunny day.

In this outdoor activity, learners review the parts of the synapse and their functions by playing a game.

In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

In this activity, learners explore the physics of impact craters from their own backyard using mud. Learners are encouraged to match features of real impact craters to their models.

In this activity, learners capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

In this activity, learners use their feet to estimate distances. Learners calculate the distance of one step in centimeters by measuring 10 steps at a time to reduce measurement error.

In this activity, learners will make seed orbs to grow new trees and plants. Learners will explore ecology and life cycles as well as stewardship through this activity.

In this activity, learners observe tide pool animals in a touch tank to consider how they survive.

In this indoor and/or outdoor activity, learners make an anemometer (an instrument to measure wind speed) out of a protractor, a ping pong ball and a length of thread or fishing line.

In this kinesthetic activity, learners will play a game with a ball to demonstrate the Coriolis force, which partly explains why hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise.

In this activity, learners will explore the ways natural materials can produce sounds. Appropriate for any age, learners can make individual music or create a symphony with others.

In this math activity, learners jump and measure how far they can jump on different surfaces using different jumping techniques.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch), learners will stand twelve feet apart swinging a rope at the slowest tempo possible while someone uses a stopwatch to record

In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

In this activity, learners model ancient lunar impacts using water balloons.
