In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Rabbits), learners will visit a zoo, aquarium, or pet store to view a variety of fish.

In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of valve operation and how engineers have adapted valves for use in mechanical heart valve design.

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 will test soil content using their sample, some water and a container that seals.

In this activity (located on pages 9-14 of PDF), learners visit a cemetery to examine the distinguishing characteristics of rock weathering.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

Learners construct a bird feeder from re-used materials. After hanging their feeder, they keep a journal about what birds visit the feeder.

In this outdoor activity, learners use pegs (like tent pegs) and string or elastic to simulate drill sites and roads in Northern Canada.

In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.

In this indoor or outdoor demonstration, use a large and small ball to illustrate conservation of energy and momentum.

In this activity, learners will observe how air interacts with a paper helicopter. Learners will test different variables of weight, size, and shape.

In this activity, learners will take a step back and learn the history of the land they live on, and the people who used to live on it.

In this outdoor activity, learners will gather natural materials outside that they think a dinosaur would want to lay its eggs in.

In this activity, learners collect worms and then observe how they move.

In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

In this activity, learners design and build a simple wind vane —one of the oldest kinds of weather tools— and use it to show wind direction.

In this activity, learners simulate the energy transfer between the earth and space by using the light from a desk lamp desk lamp with an incandescent bulb and a stack of glass plates.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF), learners play with a lens and a piece of paper to focus an image on the paper. Learners look at different things, and see how the lenses affect the image.
