In this activity, learners work with an adult to build a rocket and launcher out of a plastic 2-liter bottle, flexible plastic hose, plastic tubing, toilet paper tube, and duct tape.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of different types of balls.

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.

Make a kite out of a garbage bag, shower curtain, painting tarp--anything light, thin, flexible and plastic!

In this physics activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will construct their own walkalong glider. They will explore how air, though invisible, surrounds and affects other objects.

In this physical activity, two lines of learners link hands and arms to model a beam subject to various loading schemes.

In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Where's Nano? Activity) about identifying nanoscale objects and phenomena in today's world.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent a convenient way for someone using crutches or a wheelchair to carry small personal items.

By tossing, collecting, and sorting beanbags, learners understand how the IBEX spacecraft uses its sensors to detect and map the locations of particle types in the interstellar boundary.

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, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.

In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.

This is a quick game about self-assembly (page 2 of PDF under Self-Assembly Activity). Like the molecules of DNA, learners will self-assemble into a pattern by following a simple set of rules.
