In this health activity, learners create a device so that they not only feel their heartbeat, but also see it, using a straw and some clay.

Learners take a field trip along a local body of water and conduct a visual survey to discover information about local land use and water quality.

In this activity, learners compare ways to measure their heart rates. Learners build their own stethoscopes and learn how exercise affects heart rate.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this outdoor activity, learners make their own organic-rich soil. Depending on where this activity is done, learners will probably discover that their local soil is low in organic matter.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War) is a full inquiry investigation into tug-of-war physics. Groups of learners will test two tug-of-war strategies.

In this activity about physical stress (page 28 of PDF), learners discover that muscles and bones need to work to stay strong.

In this activity, learners will measure their lung capacity by making their own spirometer. Learners will then explore factors that affect the amount of air the lungs can hold.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners conduct experiments to explore where dragonflies and damselflies perch or rest, and how the flies change behavior in reaction to other flies or fly decoys

In this activity (located in the middle of the page), learners start a garden by planting their socks!

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 activity about heart health (on page 27 of the PDF), learners measure their heart rates after a variety of physical activities and compare the results with their resting heart rates, and with

In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.

In this health and fitness activity, learners focus on the importance of daily physical activity, specifically walking.

In this outdoor activity, learners first explore lizard feeding behavior by creating a "lizard rig" to dangle different objects in front of live lizards and see which objects the lizards try to bite.

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