In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

In this activity, learners "dance" (move back and forth at varying speeds) by reading a graph. This is a kinesthetic way to help learners interpret and understand how motion is graphed.

In this activity, learners explore how to stay fit the fun way. Learners participate in three physical activities.

This is an activity about prediction. How far can you hop in 5 seconds? Could you make it to the door? Across the room? Everyone lines up and tries it.

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 outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

In this outdoor activity linking human health to the environment, learners use their pulse rates as a measure of the effort expended in walking on different slopes.

In this Cyberchase activity, learners use math to explore how parts of the body are proportional.

In this engineering activity, learners examine bicycle mechanics and gear ratios. Learners determine which gears will help them bike a set course in the shortest amount of time.

In this activity, learners will train to increase bone strength and to improve heart and other muscle endurance by performing jump training with a rope, both while stationary and moving.

In this activity, learners perform 20 arm curls with cans that simulate the weight of beans on Earth versus the weights of the same number of beans on the Moon and in space.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

In this space science activity, learners work together to create a human-powered orrery to model the movements of the four inner planets.

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch) is a full inquiry investigation into whether hearing or seeing has a bigger effect on jump rope performance.

In this activity, learners interpret three trackways and use measurements and a formula to infer the relative speed of dinosaurs.

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

In this activity, learners discover that the human brain is highly adaptable. Learners try to toss beanbags at a target while wearing prism goggles.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Biodiversity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into biodiversity.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most. Then, learners estimate the size of a Triceratops and T.

In this activity, learners play a game and use pattern blocks to explore mirror images and reflection.
