In this design challenge activity, learners invent an emergency shelter that can fit a person and is sturdy and quick to build.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

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.

This is a tape and glue activity in which learners make binoculars that they can decorate and then use to go bird watching.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

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 use the design thinking process to design and build their own aqueduct, or water bridge.

In this math activity related to light, learners assemble a photometer and use it to estimate the power output of the Sun.

In this highly physical outdoor activity, learners construct and compare experimental trail sections to select the best trail-construction technique for their site.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF SciGirls Activity: Milk Carton Boat) is a full inquiry investigation into boat hull design.

This outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes) is a full inquiry investigation into how the amount of moisture in a sand dune relates to the number of plants growing

In this geometry activity, learners explore networks painted on playgrounds, such as a four square court, and draw their own.

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 observe fly behavior and then build a flytrap.

Build a pinwheel that works without wind! This activity contains steps on how to build a parachuting pinwheel out of paper, a film canister, and some brads.

In this activity, learners make a parachute out of tissue paper, tape, and string. Then, learners test their parachute to see how many paper clips it can carry.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick) is a full inquiry investigation into transfer of motion.

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 activity, learners will trick out their bike with crafts and flair. Learners will explore symmetry, cause and effect and design through this activity.

In this activity, learners will explore nature by creating food for birds. Learners will develop fine motor skills and engage in nature observation through this activity.
